Question

The length of the side of the square is 50cm and the breadth of a rectangle is 25cm.If the areas of the square and the recangle are equal, find the length of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

length =375 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length of side of square = 50 cm

Formula of area of square = side * side

Therefore area of square = 50 * 50 =2500 cm2

breadth of rectangle = 25 cm

area of rectangle = 2500 cm2

Formula of area of rectangle =2 (length + breadth)

Therefore length of rectangle = 2/2500-25

= 375 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

length of the rectangle is 100cm

Step-by-step explanation:

if the areas of the square and rectangle are equal then we can find the area using,

1)area of a square= side ×side or side²

=50²

=2500

2) then we know that the breadth of the rectangle is 25cm, and the formula for area of a rectangle is length × breadth.

so working backwards, we can use ,

length= area ÷ breadth

=2500 ÷ 25

=100cm
