A wire 120 cm long is bent. into a rectangle with length 50 cm. Find its breadth and area
Answers
Answer:
Breadth 10
Area 100
Step-by-step explanation:
length of Rectangle is 50 cm
sum of length of rectangle is 50+50 =100
breath of rectangle is 10 cm
area of rectangle 50×10 = 100 cm
Answer:
Breadth of rectangle = 10 cm
Area of rectangle = 500 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
- A wire 120 cm long is bent into a rectangle with length 50 cm.
If a wire is bent into a rectangular shape then the length of the wire will be equal to the perimeter of rectangle.
Let the Breadth of the rectangle be x cm.
To find:
- Breadth and Area of rectangle.
★ Formula needed:
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth) unit
Area of rectangle = (Length × Breadth) sq. unit
Finding the breadth of rectangle:
According to the question,
→ 2(50 + x) = 120
→ 50 + x = 120/2
→ 50 + x = 60
→ x = 60 - 50
→ x = 10
∴ Breadth of the rectangle = x = 10 cm
Finding the area of rectangle:
- Area of rectangle = (50 × 10) cm²
- Area of rectangle = 500 cm²
