Question

Find the breadth of a rectangle whose area is $540{\text{cm}}^2$ and whose length is $36\text{cm}$ ?

Answer 1

Finding breadth of the rectangle :

Area of the rectangle $=540{\text{cm}}^2$

Length of the rectangle $=36\text{cm}$

We know that, area of the rectangle is $=\text{length×breadth}$

But area $=540{\text{cm}}^2$

So, breadth $=\frac{\mathrm{area}}{\mathrm{length}}$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{=}\frac{540}{36} \\ \text{=15 cm} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, breadth of the rectangle is $15\text{cm}$ .
