The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is: **Area = Length × Breadth** Given: - Area = 2 m² - Breadth = 1/2 m Let's denote the length of the rectangle as \( L \). ### Step 1: Write the formula for the area of the rectangle The area of the rectangle can be expressed as: \[ \text{Area} = L \times \text{Breadth} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the known values into the formula Substituting the known values into the formula gives us: \[ 2 = L \times \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( L \) To isolate \( L \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2: \[ 2 \times 2 = L \times \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 = L \] ### Step 4: Conclusion Thus, the length of the rectangle is: \[ L = 4 \text{ m} \] ### Final Answer The length of the rectangle is **4 meters**. ---
