Answer: The possible dimensions of the rectangle are: (30m x 1m), ( 15m x 2m), (10m x 3m) , ( 6m x 5m)

Explanations:

The Area of a rectangle is giving by the formula:

Area = Length * Breadth

From the given question:

Area = 30 m²

To get the possible values of the length and breadth of the rectangle, you need to get all the possible product combinations that can give you 30.

Also note: In a rectangle, the length is always the longer side and it is the first mentioned in the dimension.

30 = 6 * 5

30 = 10 * 3

30 = 15 * 2

30 = 30 * 1

Note that the first value mentioned is the length and the second is the breadth.

Therefore the possible dimesnsions of the rectangle are:

(30m x 1m), ( 15m x 2m), (10m x 3m) , ( 6m x 5m)
