Question

the area of the square of side 16 cm is same as that of a rectangle of length 64 M what is the breadth of a rectangle (in metre) ?

Answer 1

Area of square = (side)^2= 16^2= 256 centimetres= 0.25 6M

Given area of rectangle = area of square= 0.25 6M

Area of rectangle is equals to length into breadth

Length given a 64 m

Therefore breath equals to 0.256/ 64 which = 0.004 m

Answer 2

since the area of square is side × side = side^2
so area of square will be 16 ×16 = 256 metre square
hence area of square equal to area of rectangle of length 64 m
256 = 64 × breadth
256 ÷ 64 = breadth ........since 64 goes in division by transposition
4 = breadth
breadth is 4 m
