Question

8. The area of a rectangular sheet is 500 cm'. If the length of the sheet is 25 cm, what is its
width?
(a) 20 cm
(b) 17 cm
(c) 30 cm
(d) None of these
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area =L×B=500cm

2

L=25cm

∴25×B=500

B=

25

500

=20cm

Perimeter =2(L+B)=2(25+20)

=90cm

Answer 2

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangular sheet= 500 cm²

Length of the sheet= 25 cm

Let width of the sheet be 'b'.

A/q,

Area of rectangle = length×width

=> 500 = 25×b

=> 500/25 = b

=> 20 = b

Therefore, 20 cm is the width of the rectangular sheet.
