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 the breadth of rectangle be x

The length of a rectangle is 20% more than its breadth

Length = $\frac{20}{100}x+x = 0.2x+x=1.2x$

Area of rectangle = $Length \times Breadth$

Area of rectangle = $1.2x\timesx$

                            = $1.2x^2$

Side of square = Breadth of rectangle = x

So, area of square = $Side^2 = x^2$

Now  the ratio of the area of a rectangle to that of a square = $\frac{1.2x^2}{x^2}$

                                                                                                   = $\frac{12}{10}$

                                                                                                   = $\frac{6}{5}$

Hence the ratio of the area of a rectangle to that of a square is 6:5
