The area of rectangle is 144m. if the length is 20 m, then find the breadth of the rectangle.
Answers
Given
Area of a Rectangle is 144m²
Length of the Rectangle is 20m
To find
breadth of the Rectangle
Since, length and area of Rectangle is given so,we assume the breadth some Variable and then apply formula for area of Rectangle.
Let the breadth of the Rectangle be 'x'
Length of the Rectangle is 20m
Area of Rectangle= length × breadth
=>Area of Rectangle = 20*x
=>20x = 144
=>x= 144/20= 72/10= 7.2
since x is 7.2
∴ Breadth of the Rectangle is 7.2m.
Check:
Area of Rectangle= 20*7.2= 1440= 144m²
Extra information=>
Area is Space or region which is covered by a solid object/figure it is said to be area of that object.
Area depends upon the dimensions of the figure.If dimensions is larger then larger will be the area of that object/figure and vice -versa.
Perimeter of Rectangle= 2(length + breadth)
- The area of rectangle is 144m.
- The length of rectangle is 20 m.
- The breadth of the rectangle.
We have,
- Area of rectangle = 144m.
- Length of rectangle = 20 m.
We know that the area of a rectangle = length × breadth ------(1)
According to the question,
The area of rectangle is 144m.------(2)
From the equation 1 & 2,
144 = length × breadth
➝ 144 = 20 × breadth
➝ 144/20 = breadth
➝ 7.2 m = breadth
Hence, The breadth of the rectangle is 7.2 meters.
144 = length × breadth
- Length = 20 m
- Breadth = 7.2 m
➝ 144 = 20 × 7.2
➝ 144 = 144
