Question

find the area of a rectangular park which is 18 5/3 m long and 8 2/3 m broad ? explain in step by step ​

Answer 1

• The area of a rectangular park = 255 2 / 3 m.

Given :

• The length of a rectangular park = 18 5 / 3 m.
• The breadth of a rectangular park = 8 2 / 3 m.

To Find :

• The area of a rectangular park.

Solution :

We have to find the area of a rectangular park.

We know that,

Area of the rectangle = l × b

Where,

• l = length.
• b = breadth

First, we have to convert mixed fraction to simple fraction.

• l = length = 18 5 / 3 m

⇒ 18 × 3 + 5 / 3

⇒ 54 + 5 / 3

⇒ 59 / 3 m

• b = breadth = 8 2 / 3 m

⇒ 8 × 3 + 2 / 3

⇒ 24 + 2 / 3

⇒ 26 / 2

⇒ 13 m

Now substitute both the values in the formula of the area of a rectangle.

⇒ l × b

⇒ 59 / 3 m × 13 m

⇒ 767 / 3 m

⇒ 255 2 / 3 m

Hence,

The area of a rectangular park is 255 2 / 3 m.
