Janine measured the sides of a rectangle and found that the sides were 12 inches and 24 inches. Howard measured the same rectangle and found that the sides were 1 foot and 2
feet. When their math teacher asked them for the area, Janine said 288, and Howard said 2.
Why did they get two different numbers for the area of the same rectangle?

I need help please

The great scientist alfred wegener proposed that continents have moved, while other scientists such as t.c.chamberlin argued against wegener. wegener's ideas eventually won, and are now widely accepted, because: a) wegener's ideas were more beautiful, and so were favored by the intellectual elite.b) wegener's ideas did a better job of predicting the results of new observations and experiments.c) wegener's ideas appealed to dead white european males, whereas chamberlin's didn't.d) wegener's ideas appalled dead white european males, and we all know that in this politically correct era,dead white european males cannot get a fair shake.e) wegener won the nobel prize.
