As an area can be any shape, there is no formula for finding length and breadth when given area.But if you have a rectangle:Area = length × breadthWhich can be rearranged to give:Breadth = Area ÷ LengthorLength = Area ÷ BreadthThere is no one solution for this - pick any breadth (or length) and you can work out the length (or breadth) of the rectangle so that it has the given area.For example, If a rectangle has an area of 12 m² it could have dimensions:breadth = 1 m → length = 12 m² ÷ 1 m = 12 mbreadth = 2 m → length = 12 m² ÷ 2 m = 6 mbreadth = 3 m → length = 12 m² ÷ 3 m = 4 mAll those rectangles: 1m by 12 m, 2 m by 6 m, 3 m by 4m have an area of 12 m²The lengths need not be whole numbers, giving further rectangles, for example:breadth = 0.5 m → length = 12 m² ÷ 0.5 m = 24 mbreadth = 1.5 m → length = 12 m² ÷ 1.5 m = 8 mbreadth = 2.5 m → length = 4.8 m

m to the second power means multiply m by itself, or m x m.
