1.	if the area of a rectangle is 240sq. cm and length of side is 16cm then the length of its adjacent side is
Answer» Answer :- Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth is 15 cm Given :- Area of rectangle = 240 cm² Length of rectangle = 16 cm To Find :- Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth Explanation :- Let the Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth to be 'x' cm. As we KNOW, ${\implies \:{\mathrm{Area \:of \:rectangle = Length \times Breadth }}}$ Now, Substituting the values ${\implies \:{\mathrm{Length \times Breadth = 240\:cm^{2}}}$ ${\implies \:{\mathrm{16 \times x = 240 }}}$ ${\implies \:{\mathrm{16 x = 240 }}}$ ${\implies \:{\mathrm{ x = {\dfrac{240}{16} }}}}$ ${\implies \:{\mathrm{\underline{\boxed{\bold x = 15\:cm }}}}}$ Hence, the Length of adjacent side i.e. Breadth is 15 cm. ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ ${\boxed{\bold{Note}}$ I suggest you to PLEASE CHECK the answer on website. @Agamsain
