Oh honey, let's break it down for you. The greatest area of the rectangle occurs when it's a square, so the sides are 4.5 inches each, giving an area of 20.25 square inches. The least area happens when it's a skinny little strip, like 1 inch by 8 inches, giving an area of 8 square inches. So the difference between the greatest and least possible areas is 12.25 square inches. Honey, you're welcome.

Well, isn't that a happy little problem to solve! To find the greatest area, we want to maximize the length and width while still keeping the perimeter at 18 inches. To find the least area, we want to minimize the length and width. By playing with different dimensions, you'll find the difference between the greatest and least possible areas of the rectangle. Just like painting, it's all about finding the right balance!

Let's assume they are 1 inch floor tiles.

20 - 8 = 12 square inches
