Which statement is true about the relationship between the areas of these two rectangles

Hey there!

Let's find their areas first. Rectangle area is defined as length times width, so we have:

A- 10 * 4 = 40 units squared

B- 4 * 2 = 8 units squared

Let's try all of our answers:

A) If A had twice the area, it's area would be 8. No

B) This is true, as 40 is 8 times 5, so rectangle A has 5 times as much area.

Your answer is B.

Hope this helps!
