Question

5. The area of a rectangular table top is 5 3/8 m². If one of the sides measures 2 1/4 m m, find the length of the other side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a rectangle = length * breadth

area here = 5 ⅜ m^2  

let one side be breadth  

so the breadth = 2 ¼ m

thus, the length = area / breadth

                       = 5 ⅜ / 2 ¼

=43/8  /  9/4

= 43/8 * 4/9

=43/18

=2 7/18  

therefore the length of the other side is 2 7/18 m.
