Question

8. The distance around a rectangular field is 400 meters. The length of the field is 26 meters
more than the breadth. Calculate the length and breadth of the field?​

Answer 1

Answer:

87

Step-by-step explanation:

side a = x

side b = x+26

2 (x + x+26)=400

4x=400-52

x=(348÷4)

x=87

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(l+ b) = perimeter \: of \: rectange$

length is 26 more than breadth so

if breadth is x

than length is 26+x

perimeter is 400

2(26+x +x) =400

26+2x= 400/2

26+2x=200

2x=200-26

2x=174

x=174/2

x=87

breadth=x=87

length=26+x=26+87=113
