Question

The length of a rectangle is 20% more than its breadth what will be the ratio of the area of a rectangle to that of a square whose side is equal to the breadth of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let its breadth be b units.

so, length will be b + (20% of b) i.e 6b/5

now area of rectangle = b * 6b/5 i.e 6b^2/5

area of square with side b = b^2

ratio = (6b^2/5)/(b^2) i.e 6:5.
