Question

Which of the rectangles has the area of 156 square meters?A. rectangle with the length 1 meter and width 156 meters. B. A rectangle with 12 meters and the width 13 meters. C. A rectangle with length 39 meters and width 39 meters. D. A rectangle with length 26 meters and width 6 meters.

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

The Area = 156 square meters

so substituting for area in the formular we get

156 = length x breadth

now you will fit in the values in the answer for the length and breadth respectively

so option B has a length of 12 and a breadth of 13, its area = 12 x 13 = 156 square meters... so A is right

lets check option A, Length = 1m and breadth = 156m, its area = 1 x 156 = 156 square meters ... so Option A is right too

lets check Option C

That is 39 x 39 = 1521 square meter, so option C is wrong its area is way above 156 Square meter

Then finally option D

That is 26 x 6 =156 square meter... so option D is right too

Option A,B and D are right
