Question

A rectangular garden plot has an area of 250 square feet. Which of the following are possible dimensions for the plot?

Answer 1

Solution

Step 1:

$Area\text{ of a rectangle = Length }\times\text{ Breadth}$

Step 2:

The area of the rectangular garden = 250 square feet

$\begin{gathered} \text{ 5 ft }\times\text{ 50 ft = 250 square feet} \\ 25\text{ ft }\times\text{ 10 ft = 250 square feet} \\ 125\text{ ft x 2 ft = 250 square feet} \end{gathered}$

Final answer

5ft x 50ft

25ft x 10ft

125ft x 2ft
