Area of a rectangle = 100 cm, one side, 4 times smaller than the other. Find the larger side?

1) Let one side be a cm, then the other side, if it is known that it is four times larger, will be equal to 4 * a. Because the area is known, we find side a:

4 a * a = 100

a ^ 2 = 25

a = √25

a = 5.

2) 5 * 4 = 20 (cm) – large side

Answer: the large side of the rectangle is 20 cm.
