Question

The area of a rectangle is 1,036 cm and its length is 74 cm.

Find (i) its breadth (ii) its perimeter​

Answer 1

(i) Breadth = 14 cm

(ii) Perimeter = 176 cm

Explanation:

Given,

• Area of a rectangle =
  `1036` cm²

• Length =
  `74` cm

(i) Breadth = ?

We know that, Area of a rectangle = length × breadth.

Then,

`1036 = 74 * Breadth\\1036 / 74 = Breadth\\\boxed{\bf\:14 \:cm = Breadth }`

(ii) Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)

Then,

`Perimeter = 2(74 + 14)\\Perimeter = 2(88)\\\boxed{\bf\: Perimeter = 176 \: cm}`

`\rule{150pt}{2pt}`
