Question

2. The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 m. Its length is 2 m more than
twice its breadth. What are the length and the breadth of the pool?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth of the swimming pool be x.

ATQ,

Length= 2x+2

Breadth= x

Perimeter= 2(2x+2+x)=154

=2(3x+2)=154

=3x+2=154/2

=3x=77-2

=x=75/3

Breadth=x=25m

Therefore, Length= 2x+2

=2(25)+2

=50+2=52m

So, Length= 52m and Breadth=25m
