Question

Find the width of a rectangular strip of land with length 25 m and area 12 square meters?

Answer 1

5/4

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by

A = l*w

1/2 = 2/5 * w

Multiply each side by 5/2

5/2 * 1/2 = 2/5 *w * 5/2

5/4 = w

Answer 2

Formula we use,

→ A = l × w

Then the width of the rectangle,

→ A = I × w

→ 1/2 = 2/5 × w

Now multiply each side by 5/2,

→ 1/2 × 5/2 = 2/5 × w × 5/2

→ w = 5/4

Hence, the width is 5/4.
