Question

if the area of a rectangle is 240sq. cm and length of side is 16cm then the length of its adjacent side is​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth is 15 cm

Given :-

• Area of rectangle = 240 cm²
• Length of rectangle = 16 cm

To Find :-

• Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth

Explanation :-

Let the Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth to be 'x' cm.

As we know,

${\implies \:{\mathrm{Area \:of \:rectangle = Length \times Breadth }}}$

Now, Substituting the values

${\implies \:{\mathrm{Length \times Breadth = 240\:cm^{2}}}$

${\implies \:{\mathrm{16 \times x = 240 }}}$

${\implies \:{\mathrm{16 x = 240 }}}$

${\implies \:{\mathrm{ x = {\dfrac{240}{16} }}}}$

${\implies \:{\mathrm{\underline{\boxed{\bold x = 15\:cm }}}}}$

Hence, the Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth is 15 cm.
