Question

The area of rectangular garden 60 m long is 300 sq. m . find the width of the
garden

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The width of the rectangular garden is 5 m.

To find :-

• The width of the garden.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, the length and area of a rectangular garden is given to us. We have to find it's width.

We know that :-

$\underline{ \boxed{ \sf Area \: of \: a \: rectangle = Length \times Breadth}}$

Here,

• Area = 300 m².
• Length = 60 m.

Let :-

• The width be "w" m.

Substituting the given values in this formula,

$\longmapsto\rm300 = 60 \times w$

Multiplying 60 with w,

$\rm \longmapsto 300 = 60w$

Transposing 60 from RHS to LHS, changing it's sign,

$\rm \longmapsto \dfrac{300}{60} = w$

Dividing 300 by 60,

$\longmapsto \underline{ \boxed{ \rm5 \: m = w}}$

Hence :-

• The width of the rectangular garden is 5 m.

What is a rectangle?

• In geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral in which the four sides measure 90°. In a rectangle, the opposite sides are equal.

Some more formulae :-

• Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth).

What is the sum of all the angles in a rectangle?

• A rectangle is a quadrilateral, and the sum of all the angles in a quadrilateral is 360°. Hence, the sum of all the angles in a rectangle = 360°.
