1.	The area of a rectangle is 460 sq. cm. If the length is 15% more than the beradth .What is the breadth of the rectangle
Answer» Let the BREADTH be x. So length would be x + 15X/100 = (100x + 15x)/100 = 115x/100 = 23x/20 Area = 460 x(23x/20) = 460 23x²/20 = 460 23x² = 460 × 20 x² = 9200/23 = 400 x = √400 = 20cm 23x/20 = 23(20)/20 = 23cm Therefore, Length and breadth of the rectangle are 20cm and 23cm respectively. Hope it HELPS!!! :)

Answer»

Let the BREADTH be x. So length would be x + 15X/100 = (100x + 15x)/100 = 115x/100 = 23x/20

Area = 460

x(23x/20) = 460

23x²/20 = 460

23x² = 460 × 20

x² = 9200/23 = 400

x = √400 = 20cm

23x/20 = 23(20)/20 = 23cm

Therefore, Length and breadth of the rectangle are 20cm and 23cm respectively.
