Question

The area of a rectangle is 0.192 sq m. If its length is 1.2 m, what is its breadth?

Answer 1

Length of the rectangle = l = 1.2 m
Let the breadth of the rectangle be b m.
Area of the rectangle = 0.192 m²
length × breadth = 0.192
1.2 × b = 0.192
$b=\frac{0.192}{1.2}\left(\mathrm{On}\mathrm{dividing}\mathrm{both}\mathrm{side}s\mathrm{by}1.2\right)$
b = 0.16 m
∴ Breadth of the rectangle is 0.16 m.
