The length of a rectangular plot exceeds ''s hreadth by
5 metres. If the perimeter of the plot is 142 metres,
find the dimensions of the plot.
20.
d breadth is 34m​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of rectangular plot = 38

Breadth of rectangular plot = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth of rectangular plot be x

then, length of rectangular plot be x+5

According to question

Perimeter of rectangular plot = 2(l+b)

142 = 2(x+5+x)

142 = 2(2x+5)

142/2 = 2x+5

71 = 2x+5

71-5 = 2x

66 = 2x

66/2 = x

33 = x

Length = x+5

= 33+5

= 38

Breadth = x

33
