Question

The area of a rectangular park is 2520 sq.m and its length is 56 m. Calculate the breadth of the park and complete the equation by finding the value of A.

• A. A = 35 m
• B. A = 45 m
• C. A = 55 m
• D. A = 65 m

Answer 1

The correct option is B A = 45 m

For a rectangular park, we know,
$Area=Length\times Breadth$

Now, we already know:
Area of the park $=2520sq.m$
Length of the park $=56m$

So, in this case, the equation will be:
$2520sq.m=56m\times Breadth$

∴ Breadth of the park is equal to $2520÷56$

Calculating $2520÷56$ by box method, we get:


Here the final quotient is 45 and remainder is 0.

So, the value of $2250÷56$ is 45.

Hence, the breadth of the park is $45m.$

∴ The equation for the area of the park can be completed as:
