Answer 2

Given :

• Area of rectangle = 83 ¾ m

• One side of rectangle = 12 ½ m

To find :

• Other side of rectangle

Analysis :

Here, we have to find the side of rectangle and we are given with the area and one side. So, in order to get the required answer. Firstly we will assume the other side as x metre. And then by using the formula of area of rectangle we will get our required answer.

Formula of area of rectangle = l × b

where,

• l = length
• b = breadth

Solution :

Let us assume the length of the other side of the rectangle as x metre.

→ Area of rectangle = l × b

→ Substituting the given values :-

→ 83 ¾ = 12 ½ × x

→ 335/4 = 25/2 × x

→ Transposing 25/2 to the other side :-

→ 335/4 × 2/25 = x

→ 335/2 × 1/25 = x

→ 6.7 = x

→ The value of x = 6.7

Therefore, the other side of rectangle = 6.7 m
