Question

The length of 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

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth of rectangle be x

The length of a rectangle is 20% more than its breadthLength = 20/100x + x = 0.2x + x = 1.2x

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Area of rectangle = 1.2x

                            = 1.2x square

Side of square = Breadth of rectangle = x

Side of square = Breadth of rectangle = xSo, area of square = Side square = x square

Now  the ratio of the area of a rectangle to that of a square = 1.2x square/ x square

                                                                                                   = 12/10

                                                                                                   = 6/5

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