The area of a rectangle is 42m2. If it's length is 5m what is its breadth?

1 answer

To find the breadth of the rectangle, we need to divide the area by the length.

Area = Length x Breadth

Given:
Area = 42 m²
Length = 5 m

Using the formula, we can find the breadth:

42 m² = 5 m x Breadth

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

42 m² / 5 m = Breadth

8.4 m = Breadth

Therefore, the breadth of the rectangle is 8.4 meters.
