Question

A rope is tightly held between 4 poles making the vertices of a rectangle the length of a rope is 360 M the distance between three constructive poles is in the ratio 4 ratio 5 find the length and the breadth of the rectangle so formed

Answer 1

let length be 4x then breadth is 5x
perimeter is 2(l+b)
P=2(4x+5x)
P=2*9x
given perimeter is 360m
360=18x
x=360/18
x=20
therefore length is 4x=80m
breadth is 5x=100m
