Rectangular 7376

Two brothers wanted to have the same area of land. One chose a square plot with a side length of 60m. The second brother chose a rectangular plot of land with a side length of 80m. What is the width of the second brother's plot?

Correct answer:

x =  45 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=60\text{m} \\ S=a\cdot a=60\cdot 60=3600{\text{m}}^2 \\ b=80\text{m} \\ S=b\cdot x \\ x=S/b=3600/80=45\text{m} \end{gathered}$$
