Answer 2

$\huge\bold{Answer}$

We are given the area of the rectangle.

area = 259 cm²

area of rectangle = $length\times breadth$

length = $18.5\:cm$

so, we can re-write the formula as,

$breadth$ = $\frac{area}{length}$

$breadth$ = $\frac{259}{18.5}$

$= 14$

$\textbf{\underline{Verification}}$

$18.5\times 14 = 259$

Therefore, the breadth is 14 cm.

$\boxed{\textbf{b = 14cm}}$
