Question

A rectangle has an area of 24 square units and a side length of 2 3/4 unit. Find the other side length of the rectangle. Don't include units in your answer

Answer 1

B = A / L

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given as:

A = L * B

where L = length of the rectangle

B = breadth of the rectangle (other length)

The area of the given rectangle is 24 sq units. The length is
`2(3)/(4)` units (
`(11)/(4)` units).

To find the other length (breadth), divide the area by the length:

`B = A / L`

Therefore, the breadth is:

`B = (24)/((11)/(4) ) \\\\B = (24 * 4)/(11) \\\\B = 8.72`

The other length is 8.72
