Question

a plot of land 18m and 8m has been exchanged for a land of 12m. find the breadth of the latter.​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

• length(l)=18 m
• breadth(b)=8 m

Area of a rectangle = l×b

=18×8

=144 m²

For the second rectangle

• length=12 m
• breadth= ?

Area of the two rectangles are same

Area of 1st rectangle=Area of 2nd rectangle

144=l×b

144=12×b

b=144/12

b=12 m

So the breadth=12 m

Here both length and breadth are same so, it is a square
