Question

the area of a rectangular table top is 5 3/8 m square . if one of the sides measure 2 1/4 , find the length of the other side​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the other side be x, then

x * 9/4 = 43/8

then x = 43/18 i.e. 2 7/18

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle = breadth * length

Answer 2

Given:- Area = $5\frac{3}{8} m^{2}$

Side = $2\frac{1}{4}$

Area of the rectangle = length X Breath

So one side of length = breath = $2\frac{1}{4}$

Therfore , Area= length x Breath

                  $5\frac{3}{8} = length x 2\frac{1}{4}$

               Length = $\frac{15}{4}$

Hence length of th other side is $\frac{15}{4}$
