Question

The area of a square park is the same as that of a rectangular park. If the side of the square park is 60 metres and the length of the rectangular park is 90 metres, calculate the breadth of the rectangular park.

• A. 60 m
• B. 45 m
• C. 50 m
• D. 40 m

Answer 1

The correct option is D 40 m

Given that,
Area of square park = Area of rectangular park.
Side of square park = 60 m
Length of rectangular park = 90 m

Area of the square park $=(side{)}^2$
$=(60{)}^2{m}^2$
$=3600m^2$
Area of the rectangular park $=3600m^2$ [Given]
Length × Breadth = 3600
90 × Breadth = 3600
Breadth $=\frac{3600}{90}$
Breadth = 40 m
