Question

The area of a rectangle is equal to 750 square centimetres. What is the breadth of the rectangle if its length is 50 cms.

• A. 125 cms
• B. 50 cms
• C. 15 cms
• D. 25 cms

Answer 1

The correct option is C

15 cms

Let the breadth of the rectangle = “b” cms

Area of a rectangle $=\text{length}\times \text{breadth}$

Forming an equation:

Hence $750=50\times \text{b}$

$b=\frac{750}{50}$

$b=15\text{cms}$
