Answer:

[tex]Area = 216.108cm^2[/tex] --- You

[tex]Area = 216.940cm^2[/tex] --- Another student

Reason: Because there is a variation in the given dimensions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Your measurement

[tex]Length = 20.70cm; Width =10.44cm[/tex]

Another students'

[tex]Length = 20.74cm; Width =10.46cm[/tex]

Solving (a): The area

Area is calculated as:

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

For you

[tex]Area = 20.70cm * 10.44cm[/tex]

[tex]Area = 216.108cm^2[/tex]

For the other student

[tex]Area = 20.74cm * 10.46cm[/tex]

[tex]Area = 216.940cm^2[/tex]

Solving (b): Reason for the variation in the areas

The given measurements are estimates of the dimensions of the rectangle.

Since there is a variation in the estimates, there will be some level of variation in the calculated area.
