Question

What will be the breadth of a rectangle of length 32 cm having the same area as that of a square of side 16 cm?

• A. 5 cm
• B. 6 cm
• C. 7 cm
• D. 8 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is D 8 cm

Side of square = 16 cm
Area of square
= side $\times$ side
= 16 $\times$ 16 = 256 $c{m}^2$
Given,
area of rectangle = area of square = 256 $c{m}^2$
So, breadth of rectangle = $\frac{256}{32}$ = 8 cm
