Question

The area of a rectangle is equal to 880 square centimetres. What is the breadth of the rectangle if its length is 40 cms.

• A. 125 cms
• B. 22 cms
• C. 15 cms
• D. 25 cms

Answer 1

The correct option is B

22 cms

Let the breadth of the rectangle = “b” cms

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

Forming an equation:

Hence $880=40\times \text{b}$

$=\frac{880}{40}=\text{b}$

$=22\text{cms}=\text{b}$
