Area of a rectangle is length XWidth. So if you have the area of a rectangular field or courtyard and either length or breadth/width,just divide the area by length to get the width and similarly just divide the area by width/breadth to get the length it is very easy
We know that Length XBreadth=area of the rectangular yard.
Therefore,length=360.15/15
=24.01m

Well, the area of a rectangle is Base times Hieght. So divide the area by the width.

15 x A = 360.15
/15 /15

A=24.01
(A = Awnser)
Isolate the variable.

the formula for area of a rectangle is
A=BxH
you said the are was 360.15 so you plug that in
360.15=BxH
you said the width (B) was 15 so you plug that in
360.15=15xH
divide by 15 on both sides
360.15=15xH
-------- ---
15 15
24.01= H
your answer is H=24.01

Area = length x height. A = l x h
360.15 = l x 15
This is now a linear equation and you solve for the length (l).
