Question

A rectangle's length is five times its breadth. It has an area of 2000 square yards. What is the Breadth of the rectangle?
a. can't be determined b. 50 yards
c. none d. 25 yards ​

Answer 1

Let the breadth of rectangle be x.

Length =5x

Area= 5x × x

= 2000 Sq. yards

=5x^2= 2000 sq. yards

Simplify:

x^2= 400

x= √400

x= 20

Therefore,

Breadth of the rectangle is 20 yards and length is 20×5= 100 yards.

Hope it helps
