Question

a square of side 12 CM has the same area as a rectangle with length 16 cm what is the breadth of a rectangle

Answer 1

Hey !

I would be glad answering that !

Firstly we find the are of square = 12 x 12 =144cm²

According to question 144 = 16 x b
So, b = 144/16
b = 9 cm.

Hope I helped you !

Answer 2

Side of square = 12 cm
Area of square= a*a
So, area= 12*12= 144cm^2
Area of square = area of rectangle
Area of rectangle = l* b
So, 144 cm = 16* b
Therefore, b= 144/16
= 9cm
so breadth of rectangle = 9 cm
