Question

8. The area of a square of side 16 cm is the same as that of a rectangle of length 64 cm. What is the breadth
of the rectangle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square =a 2

Here a is the length of side of square.

Therefore,

Area of given square =16

=256cm 2

Length of rectangle =32cm

Area of rectangle = Area of square (Given)

Therefore,

Area of rectangle =l×b

b×32=256

⇒b= 256/32

=8cm

Hence the breadth of rectangle is 8cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

square area: s^2.

rectangle area: l*b.

area of square=16^2

=256cm square.

area of square=area of rectangle.

256=64*l

l=256/64

=4
