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

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
