Rectangle is a geometric figure with 4 equal sides 2 to 2
The surface or area, A, included is given by the product of the two sides
Calling L1 and L2 to the sides
A = L1 x L2
In the case under study
RECTANGLE 1 RECTANGLE 2
L1 = 3p m L1 = 2p m
L2 = 5p m L2 = 8p - 14
A = 3p x 5p A = 2p x (8p - 14)
A = 15p^2 m^2 A = 16p^2 - 28p m^2
