Answer

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

(i) Length = 9 m, Breadth = 6 m

Area = 9 × 6 = 54 sq. m

(ii) Length = 17 m, Breadth = 3 m

Area = 17 × 3 = 51 sq. m

(iii) Length = 14 m, Breadth = 4 m

Area = 14 × 4 = 56 sq. m

On comparing the areas: 56 sq. m > 54 sq. m > 51 sq. m

Hence, rectangle (iii) has the largest area (56 sq. m) and rectangle (ii) has the smallest area (51 sq. m).
