Suppose the length of a rectangle is 13 cm. Find the area if the breadth is (i) 12 cm, (ii) 10 cm, (iii) 8 cm Class 9
Question 1.
Suppose the length of a rectangle is 13 cm. Find the area if the breadth is (i) 12 cm, (ii) 10 cm, (iii) 8 cm. Find the linear pattern representing the area of the rectangle. Class 9
Solution:
Length of the rectangle = 13 cm
Let, the breadth of rectangle be b cm
| Breadth (b cm) | Area = (13 × b) cm2 |
| 12 | 13 × 12 = 150cm2 |
| 10 | 13 × 10 = 130cm2 |
| 8 | 13 × 8 = 104cm2 |
From the table, we observe that the area decreases by 26 cm² for every 2 cm decrease in the breadth.
∴ The linear pattern representing the area of the rectangle is 13 b.
