To compare the values,you must first calculate each given situation. The area of any given rectangle is length times width.
a) if w=6 and l=8
A= l*w = 8*6 = 48
b) if w=7 and l=7
A= l*w = 7*7 = 49
Therefore, the second case would yield a larger area. The answer would be w=7 and l=7. Total area would be 49 square units.
