Area Problems
The area of a rectangular field is 15 time the sum of its length and breadth. If the length of that field is 40 m, what is the breadth of that field?
Let the side of the square = y cmThen, breadth of the rectangle = 3y/2 cm ? Area of rectangle = (40 x 3y/2) cm2= 60y cm2? 60y = 3y2? y = 20Hence, the side of the square = 20 cm
