Question

A rectangle has its area equal to that of a square of side $80cm.$ If the length of the rectangle is $160cm.$Find its breadth.

Answer 1

Find the breadth of the rectangle:

Here, the side of square is $80cm.$

So, area $=80\times 80c{m}^2$

$=6400c{m}^2$

So, area of rectangle $=6400c{m}^2$

Now, length of rectangle $=160cm$

So, breadth$=\frac{6400}{160}$

$=40cm$

Hence, the breadth of the rectangle is $40cm$.
