Question

The area of a rectangle is equal to 240 square centimetres. What is the length of the rectangle if its breadth is 12 cms

A. 20 cms
B. 12 cms
C. 10 cms
D. 16 cms

Answer 1

The length of the rectangle is 20 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: length x breadth = area. In this case, the area is given as 240 square centimeters and the breadth is given as 12 centimeters. So, we can substitute these values into the formula:

length x 12 = 240

Dividing both sides of the equation by 12, we get:

length = 240 / 12 = 20 centimeters

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20 centimeters (option A).
