The rectangular backboard of a basketball court needs to be assembled. Its area is given as 18,900 cm2 and the width as 1.8 m.

What is the backboard’s length in metres?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.05 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular backboard be x

Width = 1.8 m = 180 cm

Area of rectangular backboard = [tex]Length \times Breadth[/tex]

Area of rectangular backboard = [tex]x \times 180[/tex]

We are given that area is 18,900 sq.cm

So, [tex]x \times 180= 18900[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{18900}{180}[/tex]

[tex]x = 105[/tex]

So, length = 105 cm= 1.05 m

Hence the backboard’s length in 1.05 meters
