Question

A rectangle has an area of 24 sq.cm and the breadth is 6cm. What is the length of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer :

• Length of rectangle is 4cm

Given :

• A rectangle has an area of 24cm² and the breadth is 6cm

To find :

• Length of rectangle

Solution :

• let the length of rectangle be l

Given,

• Area of rectangle = 24cm²
• Breadth of rectangle = 6cm

We know that,

• Area of rectangle = l × b

Where,

• l is length of rectangle
• b is breadth of rectangle

Finding the length of rectangle :

⇢ Area of rectangle = length × breadth

⇢ 24 = l × 6

⇢ l = 24/6

⇢ l = 4cm

Hence , Length of rectangle is 4cm.

Verification :

⇢ Area of rectangle = length × breadth

⇢ 24 = 4 × 6

⇢ 24 = 24

Hence , Verified.

Answer 2

The breadth and area of a rectangle are given

Breadth = 6 cm

Area = 24 cm²

We have to find the length of the rectangle

We will use the formula of area of the rectangle

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

Putting the values in the formula

24 = length × 6

length = 24 / 6

= 4 cm

Hence, the length of the rectangle will be 4 cm
