Question

The width of a rectangle is equal to m cm, but its length is five times greater than the width. Find the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of rectangle is, $5m^2$ square cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The width of a rectangle (w) = m cm

As per the condition; length(l) is five times greater than the width i.e,

$l = 5w$ cm

Now, to find the area of a rectangle(A) multiply its length(l) by its width(w) i.e,

$A = l\times w$ square unit .

Substitute the value of l and w in above formula;

$A = l \times w = (5w) \times w = 5w^2 = 5(m)^2 = 5m^2$ square cm.

Therefore, the area of rectangle is; $5m^2$ square cm.
