If the area of a rectangle is $240\ cm^2$ and the length of one side is $16\ cm$, then find the length of its adjacent side.
Given:
The area of a rectangle is $240\ cm^2$ and the length of one side is $16\ cm$.
To do:
We have to find the length of the adjacent side.
Solution:
We know that,
Area of a rectangle of length $l$ and breadth $b$ is $lb$.
Let the length of the adjacent side be $x$.
Therefore,
Area of the given rectangle $=16\times x$
$240=16x$
$x=\frac{240}{16}$
$x=15\ cm$
The length of the adjacent side is 15 cm.
