The area of the rectangle is 60m2 and one of its sides is 12m. What is its other side?

The condition says that the area of the rectangle is 60 m2. And it is also known that one of its sides is 12 m. In order to find what the other side is equal to, let’s remember and apply the formula for finding the area of a rectangle.

Let’s start by recalling the formula for finding the area of a rectangle.

S = a * b;

The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and width.

Let’s express one side of the formula in terms of the area and length of the second side.

a = S / b;

a = 60/12 = 5 meters length of the second side of the rectangle.
