Inga divided two identical rectangles into equal parts. She colored one part of each rectangle.

What is true about the areas of the colored parts?

Clear Check

The areas are equal.

The area of the red part is greater than the area of the blue part.

The area of the blue part is greater than the area of the red part.

The areas are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first rectangle be R and

the second rectangle be R'.

Sine R and R' are identical, their lengths are equal and their breadths are equal.

So, if Inga divided each into equal parts, then each part of both rectangles are equal.

Hence, the colored parts of both rectangles are equal.
