A rectangle has a width of 20 m and an area of 60 m. What is the length of the rectangle? A rectangle has an area of 36mm2. All of the sides are the same length. What is the length of a single side?

Respuesta :

Answer: 1: 3mm

Answer:2: A rectangle with 4 congruent sides is a square.

A = s^2

s^2 = A

s^2 = 36 mm^2

s = sqrt(36 mm^2)

s = 6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A. The length of the rectangle is 3 m.

Part B. The length of the single side of the rectangle or square is 6 mm.

Area of Rectangle

The area of a rectangle is defined as the total surface area obtained by multiplying its length and width.

Part A

Given that the area of a rectangle is 60 square meters and the width of the rectangle is 20 m. The length of the rectangle will be given below.

[tex]a = l\times w[/tex]

Where a is the area of the rectangle, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

[tex]60 = l\times 20[/tex]

[tex]l = \dfrac {60}{20}[/tex]

[tex]l = 3\;\rm m[/tex]

Thus the length of the rectangle is 3 m.

Part B.

A rectangle has equal sides and area of 36 square mm. Thus the rectangle will be a sqaure. The area of the square is the product of 2 sides.

[tex]a = s^2[/tex]

Where a is the area of the square and s is the side of the square.

[tex]36 = s^2[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{36}[/tex]

[tex]s = 6 \;\rm mm[/tex]

Hence the length of the single side of the rectangle or square is 6 mm.
