Question

The area of a square of side 16 cm is the same as that of a rectangle of length 32 cm find its breadth​.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that,

Area of square =a2

Here a is the length of side of square.

Therefore,

Area of given square =162=256cm2

Length of rectangle =32cm

Area of rectangle = Area of square (Given)

Therefore,

Area of rectangle =l×b

b×32=256

⇒b=32256=8cm

Hence the breadth of rectangle is 8cm.

Answer 2

Solution:-

Area of square=Area of rectangle

Side of square=16 cm

For area of square...

Area of a square=$\sf{16×16}$

Therefore, Area of a square=$\sf{256 \ cm^2}$

For area of rectangle...

256=Length of rectangle×breadth of rectangle..

256=32×b

$\dfrac{256}{32}$

b=8

Hence, breadth of rectangle is 8 cm...
