A rectangle has length $15\text{ cm}$ and breadth $4\text{ cm}$. A square has side $10\text{ cm}$. Which shape has the greater area?

Step-by-step solution

1. Compute area of rectangle: $15\times 4=60{\text{ cm}}^2$.
2. Compute area of square: $10\times 10=100{\text{ cm}}^2$.
3. Compare: $100>60$.
4. Therefore the square has the greater area.
