Answer to Question 1

A local area network (LAN) connects computers that reside in a single geographic
location on the premises of the company that operates the LAN. Wide area networks (WANs)
connect computers at different geographic locations. The computers in two separated company
sites must be connected using a WAN. With a LAN, the number of connected computers can
range from two to several hundred, but they are still in a single location (usually within a
building or floor of a building). Most small businesses have a LAN in their office that connects
them. A university campus connects all the different buildings on the campus and possibly
multiple campuses via a WAN.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
