Find the breadth of a rectangle whose area is 144 m2 and length is 16 m. Also find its perimeter.

The correct answer is: breadth of the given rectangle is 9 m & perimeter is 50 m.

Hint:-
i. Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
ii. Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
Step-by-step solution:-
From the given information, length = 16 & Area = 144
Let the breadth be x m
i. Area of the given rectangle = length × breadth
∴ 144 = 16 × x
∴ 144 / 16 = x
∴ x = 9m .................................................. (Equation i)
ii. Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (16 + 9) ............................................ (From Equation i)
∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (25)
∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 50 m
Final Answer:-
∴ breadth of the given rectangle is 9 m & perimeter is 50 m.
