Answer 2

Given ;

A rectangular plot of land is one-third wide as it is long.

To Find :

Area of plot

Solution:

Length of rectangular plot = 51 m

We are given that A rectangular plot of land is one-third wide as it is long.

So, Width of plot = $\frac{1}{3} \times 51 = 17 m$

Area of plot =$length \times Breadth$

Area of plot =$51 \times 17$

Area of plot=867

Hence the area of plot is 867 sq.m.
