Question

The area of a square of side 16 cm is the same as that of a rectangle of length 64 cm. What is the breadth of the rectangle?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square =a^2

Here a is the length of side of square.

Therefore,

Area of given square =16^2

=256cm^2

Length of rectangle =64cm

Area of rectangle = Area of square (Given)

Therefore,

Area of rectangle =l×b

b×64=256

⇒b= 256/64

= 4cm

Hence the breadth of rectangle is 4cm.
