Answer :
Final answer:
The negation of the statement 'The area of the rectangle is 66 m²' is 'The area of the rectangle is not 66 m²'. Therefore, the correct answer is option A. The area is not 66 m².
Explanation:
The correct negation of the statement 'The area of the rectangle is 66 m²' is a statement that indicates the area of the rectangle is anything other than exactly 66 m². Therefore, the correct negation would be 'The area of the rectangle is not 66 m²'. It does not specify whether the area is less or greater; it simply states the area is not the given value. Option B and C are not correct as they imply a specific direction (less than or greater than), while D is incorrect as it incorrectly refers to the rectangle itself rather than its area.
