Solution

The breadth (b) is given as $x$ .
Also, given that the length is two-thirds of its breadth, i.e, $l = 2 / 3 x$
We know that The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and breadth
$S o, A r e a = l \times b = 2 / 3 x \times x = 2 / 3 x^{2}$
Thus, the area of rectangle is equal to $2 / 3 x^{2}$ .
