The lengths of two rectangles are 11m and 19m respectively. Their total area is 321m2. What is the difference in their areas?

I get two answers

Answer 1
- Rectangle 1 5x11 and Rectangle 2 14x19
- Area 55 + Area 266 = Area 321
- 266 - 55 = 211

Answer 2
- Rectangle 1 24x11 and Rectangle 2 3x19
- Area 264 + Area 57 = Area 321
- 264 - 57 = 207

I don't think its right to have two answers. Is there more information in the question?

I think so
But there can be two answers for a question in other subjects but not Maths.
Maybe the question is phrased wrongly or u have read it wrongly.
