Chapter 11, Problem 2GRFC

To determine

To Compute : The length of the rectangle.

Answer to Problem 2GRFC

The length of the rectangle is 7 units.

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

It’s given that the area of the rectangle is 42 units and breadth, that is width is 6 units.

  $\text{Area}\text{of}\text{a}\text{rectangle}\text{=}\text{length}\times \text{breadth}$..........(1)

Therefore by substituting the area and breadth in equation (1), we get,

  $\text{42}\text{=}\text{length}\times \text{6}$

  $\text{length}\text{=}\frac{42}{6}=7$

Thus,

The length of the rectangle is 7 units.
