the area of a rectangular field is 0.5 square metre. if one side is 12.5 cm find the other sides in metres.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangular field=o.5m,500cm
if one side=12.5
other side=area÷side
=500÷12.5
=40cm
The area of a rectangular field is 0.5 square metre. If one side is 12.5 cm find the other sides in metres.
Given :
Area of a rectangular field = 0.5 m ²
One of it's side = 12.5 cm
To find :
It's other side = ?!
Solution :
It is already given that area of the rectangular field,
is 0.5 m ².
It's one side = 12.5 m
We know that,
Area of a rectangle = length x breadth
ie,
0.5 m ² = 12. 5 x breadth
For finding this first we must covert
both of this into same unit.
Then,
0.5 m ² = 1/2 m ²
1 metre = 100 cm.
Then 1/2 m² = 50 cm ²
According to the given condition,
⇒ 50 cm ² = 12.5 cm x breadth
⇒ 50/12.5 cm² = breadth
⇒ 4 cm.
Therefore,
The breadth of the rectangle = 4 cm.
