Question:

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?

Options:

125 cm

120 cm

135 cm

130 cm

Correct Answer:

125 cm

Explanation:

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
