Answer:
[tex]4,872\ mi^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
Lake Victoria has the largest surface area of all lakes in Africa. Its surface area is 26,828 square miles. How much larger is the surface area of Lake Superior than that of Lake Victoria?
we know that
Lake Superior has a surface area of 31,700 square miles----> see the attached figure
To find out how much larger is the surface area of Lake Superior than that of Lake Victoria, subtract the surface area of Lake Victoria from the surface area of Lake Superior
so
[tex]31,700-26,828=4,872\ mi^2[/tex]
