Area of Rectangle
The area of a rectangle is defined as the amount of space enclosed within its four sides. It is calculated using the formula: where:
- Length (l) is the longer side of the rectangle.
- Breadth (b) (or Width) is the shorter side of the rectangle.
Example:
The area of the given rectangle is 15 square centimetres (sq. cm).
This can be expressed as:
15 sq. cm = 5 × 3 sq. cm
Which follows the standard formula:
Area= Length × Breadth
Example
Find the area of a rectangle whose length and breadth are 12 cm and 4 cm respectively.
Length of the rectangle = 12 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 4 cm
Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
= 12 cm × 4 cm
= 48 sq cm.
Example
The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is 36 sq cm and its length is 9 cm. What is the width of the cardboard?
Area of the rectangle = 36 sq cm
Length = 9 cm
Width = ?
Area of a rectangle = length × width
So, width = `"Area"/"Length" = 36/9` = 4 cm
Thus, the width of the rectangular cardboard is 4 cm.
Example
Find the area in square metre of a piece of cloth 1m 25 cm wide and 2 m long.
Length of the cloth = 2 m
Breadth of the cloth = 1 m 25 cm = 1 m + 0. 25 m = 1.25 m
(since 25 cm = 0.25m)
Area of the cloth = length of the cloth × breadth of the cloth
= 2 m × 1.25 m = 2.50 sq m.
