The area of the rectangular sheet is 250 m². If the length of the sheet is 1250 cm. then find the breadth of the rectangular sheet.
1. 200 cm
2. 125 m
3. 20 m
4. 25 m

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 20 m

Given: 

The area of rectangular sheet = 250 m2

The length of sheet = 1250 cm

Formula Used:

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Calculation:

1 m = 100 cm

1250 cm = 12.5 m

Area of rectangle = Area of Sheet 

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

⇒ 250 m2 = 12.5 × Breadth

⇒ Breadth = 250/12.5

⇒ Breadth = 20 m

∴ The breadth of the sheet is 20 m

The correct option is 3 i.e. 20 m.
