find the breadth of a rectangular playground,if its area is 460m2 and the length is 23 m .Also find its perimeter
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Breadth = 20 meter
We know that the area of a rectangle is the product of length and breadth. Thus,
Area A of the rectangular plot = Length x Beadth …………………………………….(1)
Given, length is 15% more than the breadth.
That is, Length = Breadth + (15/100) breadth
= Breadth + .15 x Breadth = (1.15)Breadth
∴ A = 1.15 x Breadth x Breadth = 1.15 x (Breadth)² ………………………………….…(2)
Given, A = 460 square meters
Substituting in (2),
460 = 1.15 (Breadth)²
Or, 460/1.15 = 1.(Breadth)² [Dividing both sides by 1.15]
Or, (Breadth)² = 460/1.5 = 400 = 20² square meter
Taking square root,
Breadth = ±20 meter
Since length is always a positive quantity, we discard the negative value to get
Breadth = 20 meter

❇ Answer :-
Given, \\
Length = 23 m \\ breadth = ? \\
Area = 460 m^{2}
We know that
➡ Area of rectangle = Length ✖ Breadth
➡ Breadth of a rectangle is 20 m.
➡ Area of rectangle =Length ✖ Width
◾ 20 ✖ 23
◾ 460 m
➡ Perimeter of the rectangle = 2( Length + width)
◾ 2 ( 23 + 20 )
◾ 2 ( 43)
◾ 2 ✖ 43
◾ 86 m
➡ Perimeter of rectangle is 86 m.
