Question

Given the area of a circle is 36 cm². The area of the rectangle is $\frac{1}{6}$^th of the area of the circle. If the breadth of the rectangle is 1 cm, what is its length?

• A. 6 cm
• B. 12 cm
• C. 36 cm
• D. 26 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is A

6 cm

Given, area of the circle = 36 cm²
Area of the rectangle = $\frac{\text{Area of circle}}{6}$(given)
= $\frac{36}{6}$
= 6 cm²
$\because$ Area of the rectangle = length x breadth
$\Rightarrow$ 6 = length x 1

So, length = 6 cm
