The length of a rectangle is five times of its breadth. If the area of the rectangle is 3125 cm2 , then what is the length of the rectangle?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know that,
Area of rectangle= length × breadth
Given,
Length is 5 times the breadth of the rectangle
Area = 3125 cm²
Let the breadth = x then the length will be = 5x
According to the question
= x × 5x = 3125
= 5x² = 3125
= x² = 625
= x = 25 cm
So, Length = 5x = 125
