Answer: 30, 15 cm

Explanation:

Given

The length of the rectangle is twice its breadth

The area of the rectangle is
450\ cm^2

Suppose the breadth is x

So, the length is 2x

The area can be written as


\Rightarrow 2x* x=450\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=225\\\\\Rightarrow x=15\ cm

breadth is 15 cm, length is 30 cm
