The area of a rectangular garden that is 50 m long is 1000 sq m. Find the width of the garden. Class 6

Question 1.

The area of a rectangular garden that is 50 m long is 1000 sq m. Find the width of the garden. Class 6

Solution:

Width of the garden

= [latex]\frac{\text { Area }}{\text { Length }}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{1000}{50}[/latex] m = 20 m.

Question 2.

The floor of a room is 5 m long and 4 m wide. A square carpet whose sides are 3 m in length is laid on the floor. Find the area that is not carpeted. Class 6

Solution:

Area of the floor = 5 × 4 sq. m = 20 sq. m.

Area of the carpet = 3 × 3 sq. m = 9 sq. m.

So, area that is not carpeted

= (20 - 9) sq. m. = 11 sq. m.
