Question

the area of a square of side 60 cm is the same as that of a rectangle of length 75 cm find the breadth of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

48cm

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA OF SQUARE = AREA OF RECTANGLE

As we have the dimensions to find the area of the square first, let us find that first.

Area of square = Side*side

                         = 60*60 = 3600cm²

Therefore, Area of rectangle = 3600cm²

We need to find the breadth of the rectangle when area = 3600cm² and length = 75 cm

The original equation is a = l * b

If we substitute this then:

3600cm²= 75* b

Thus b = 3600/75 (change the operation)

            = 48 cm
