The area of a rectangle is 288 sq.m .If its length is 24 m, what is its breadth​

Answer»

ong>Answer :-

  • The breadth of the rectangle is 12 m.

Given :-

  • The AREA of a rectangle = 288 m².
  • It's length is 24 m.

To find :-

  • It's breadth.

Step-by-step EXPLANATION :-

  • In this QUESTION, the area and length of a rectangle has been given to us. We have to find it's breadth. LET's do this using the formula required for finding the area of a rectangle.

Calculations :-

We know that :-

\underline{\boxed{\sf Area  \: of  \: a \:  rectangle = Length \times Breadth.}}

Here,

  • Area = 288 m².
  • Length = 24 m.

Let the breadth be B.

-----------------------------

\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Substituting\: these \:values\: in\: the \:formula,}}}

\boxed{\tt 288 = 24 \times b}

Transposing 24 from RHS to LHS, changing it's sign,

\boxed{\tt \dfrac{288}{24}  = b}

Dividing 288 by 24,

\overline{\boxed{\tt12 \: m = b.}}

-----------------------------

  • Hence, the breadth of the rectangle is 12 m.
