Question

A rectangle has an area of 10 cm2 and its length is 5
cm. The breadth of the rectangle =​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of a rectangle is discussed here. We know, that a rectangle has length and breadth.

Let us look at the rectangle given below.

Each rectangle is made of squares. The side of each square is 1 cm long. The area of each square is 1 square centimeter.

Let us find the area of a rectangle having length 5 cm and breadth 4 cm.

From the above figure, it is clear that we can divide this rectangle into 20 squares of sides 1 cm each. SO, the area = 20 cm2

Thus the area of the rectangle = 5 cm × 4 cm

= 20 cm2

So when we multiply its length and breadth we get the area of the rectangle.

Answer 2

Answer:

given area= 10 cm

length= 5cm

area of rectangle = length x breadth

10cm = 5cm x breadth

breadth = 10/5

breadth = 2 cm
