Question

A rectangular field is to be fenced . The length of the field is 16 m more than its width. If 140 m fencing is required, find the dimensions of the field

Answer 1

Answer:

length = 43m

width = 27m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that length is 16m more than width.

So, by taking the value width as x, length will be x+ 16.

perimeter of rectangle= 2(l+b)

140= 2(x+16 +x)

⇒140= 4x + 32

⇒108=4x

⇒x=27

length = x+16

= 43

width = 27
