Question

A rectangular swimming pool has a range of 154 meters. If the length of the width is more than 2 meters, the length and width of the swimming pool can be determined.​

Answer 1

Let the breadth be 'x'

Length = 2 + 2x

Now perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

2(l + b) = 154

2 ( 2 + 2x + x) = 154

2 ( 2 + 3x) = 154

2 + 3x = 77

3x = 75

x = 25 m

Required breadth = 25 m

Length = 2 + 2 x 25 = 52 m
