Answer

Largest possible area: 11,100 $cm^2$ Smallest possible area: 9,800 $cm^2$

Work Step by Step

Area of a rectangle = height $\times$ width Step 1: To find the largest possible area of the rectangular window use the given largest possible dimensions for height (150 cm), and width (74 cm). 150 cm $\times$ 74 cm = 11,100 $cm^2$ Step 2: Repeat for smallest possible dimensions (140 cm and 70 cm) to find smallest possible area. 140 cm $\times$ 70 cm = 9,800 $cm^2$
