The breadth of a rectangle is 4/5 of the radius of a circle. The radius of the circle is 1/5 of the side of a square, whose area is 625 $$cm^{2}$$. What is the area of the rectangle if the length of rectangle is 20 cm?
Let's assume the length and breadth of a rectangle are 'L' and 'B' respectively.
Let's assume the radius of circle and side of a sqaure are 'r' and 'a'Â respectively.
The breadth of a rectangle is 4/5 of the radius of a circle.
$$B=\frac{4}{5}r$$Â Â Eq.(i)
The radius of the circle is 1/5 of the side of a square.
$$r=\frac{1}{5}a$$ Eq.(ii)
area of square is 625 $$cm^{2}$$.
$$a^2\ =\ 625$$
$$a^2\ = 25^2$$
a = 25 cm
Put the value of 'a' in Eq.(ii).
$$r=\frac{1}{5}\times25$$
r = 5 cmÂ
Now put the value of 'r' in Eq.(i).
$$B=\frac{4}{5}\times5$$
B = 4 cm
Area of the rectangle if the length of rectangle is 20 cm.
Area of the rectangle =Â $$L\times\ B$$
= $$20\times\ 4$$
= 80Â $$cm^{2}$$
