Question

The area of a rectangular park is same as area of a square park. If the length

of the rectangular park is 24.5 m and the side length of the square park is 14m,
find the breadth of the rectangular park?

Answer 1

8m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of rectangle= 24.5m

let the width be x

width of square= 14m

let the length be x

Step two:

we know that the area of a rectangle is

Ar= Length * width

Ar=24.5*x-----------1

Also, the area of the square is

As= Length * width

for square L=W

As= 14*14-----------------2

As=196m^2

equating 1 and 2 we have

14*14=24.5x

196=24.5x

divide both sides by 24.5

x=196/24.5

x=8m

The Breadth/width of the rectangular park is 8m
