Question

Area of a rectangle is 72 sq m and one of its sides is 12 m long. Find the length of the other side.

• A. 6 m
• B. 7 m
• C. 8 m
• D. 9 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 6 m

The area of the rectangle = length $\times$ breadth = l $\times$ b
here, length = 12 m and area of the rectangle is 72 sq m
Then, breadth = area of the rectangle / length
= 72 / 12 = 6 m
