What are the sides of a rectangle if the area is 300 square meters?
April 4, 2021 | education
| We know that the area of the rectangle is S = a * b, where a is the length and b is the width. Both parameters must be expressed in the same unit for calculation. According to the conditions of the problem, we know only one parameter, the area itself, that is, a * b = 300 (m ^ 2), and to get an answer we need additional data, for example, the value of one of the sides. Nevertheless, using known data, and making the assumption that the values of the sides are integers, we can find several correct solutions for the problem.
Factor 300: 1 and 300, 10 and 30, 100 and 3, 15 and 20, 150 and 2, 5 and 60, 50 and 6.
Any of the answers will be correct. If the values of the sides are not integers, then there are more answer options.
