To Find Area of a Rectangle when Length and Breadth are of Different Units

To find area of a rectangle when length and breadth are of different units we need to convert and write them in same units and then solve.

For Example:

1. Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 15 cm and breadth is 50 mm.

Solution:

Length (l) = 15 cm.

10 mm = 1 cm.

Therefore, 50 mm = 50/10 cm = 5 cm.

Breadth = 5 cm.

Area = l × b

       = 15 × 5 sq. cm.

       = 75 sq. cm.

2. Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 32 m and breadth is 200 cm.

Solution:

Length (l) = 32 m.

100 cm = 1 m.

Therefore, 200 cm = 200/100 m = 2 m.

Breadth = 2 m.

Area = l × b

       = 32 × 2 sq. m.

       = 64 sq. m.


3. Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 17 cm and breadth is 85 mm.

Solution:

Length (l) = 17 cm.

10 mm = 1 cm.

Therefore, 85 mm = 85/10 cm= 8.5 cm.

Breadth = 8.5 cm.

Area = l × b

        = 17 × 8.5 sq. cm.

        = 144.5 sq. cm.


4. Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 21 m and breadth is 500 cm.

Solution:

Length (l) = 21 m.

100 cm = 1 m.

Therefore, 500 cm = 500/100 m = 5 m.

Breadth = 5 m.

Area = l × b

        = 21 × 5 sq. m.

        = 105 sq. m.


5. Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 41 m and breadth is 400 cm.

Solution:

Length (l) = 41 m.

100 cm = 1 m.

Therefore, 400 cm = 400/100 m = 4 m.

Breadth = 4 m.

Area = l × b

        = 41 × 4 sq. m.

        = 164 sq. m.
