Question

The area of a rectangle is 80 cm.If its length is 16 cm, what is its width? With explaining

Answer 1

Given,

The area of a rectangle is $80cm$. If its length is $16cm$

We have to find the width of the rectangle,

Here, we know the area of rectangle and length

We know that

Area of a rectangle $= l\times w$

Area $= 80cm$, length $= 16cm$

Substitute given values in the above formula,

$80=16\times$ width

Width $= \frac{80}{16}$

$= 5$

Therefore, the width of a rectangle is $5 cm$.

Answer 2

As per data given in the question,

We have to determine the value of width of the rectangle.

From the question,

It is given that,

The area of a rectangle is 80cm.

Length is 16cm

 As we know that,

Rectangle is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are equal.

As we know that,

Area of a rectangle $= l\times w$

Area = 80cm, length = 16cm

Substitute given values in the above formula,

$80=16\times width\\Width = \frac{80}{16}\\= 5\:cm$

Therefore, the width of a rectangle is 5 cm.
