if a rectiangle length is 2 meter greather than breath and its area is 675m2 then its length and breath
Answers
Solution -
Firstly,
- Let the breadth of the rectangle be b.
⠀
Now, it is given that length of the rectangle is 2m greater than its breadth. Therefore,
- Length = 2 + b
⠀
We have,
- Area of the rectangle = 675m²
⠀
Using formula
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀★ Area = Length × Breadth
⠀
By putting the values
➝ Length × Breadth = 675
➝ (2 + b) × b = 675
➝ 2b + b² = 675
➝ b² + 2b - 675 = 0
⠀
Factorizing
➝ b² + 27b - 25b - 675 = 0
➝ b(b + 27) - 25(b + 27) = 0
➝ (b + 27) (b - 25) = 0
⠀
We get
- b = -27
- b = 25
Since, breadth of a rectangle cannot be negative. Hence, breadth of the rectangle is 25m.
⠀
By putting the value of b
- Length = 2b
- Length = 2 × 25
- Length = 50m
⠀
Thus, the length and the breadth of the given rectangle is 50m and 25m respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
breadth of rectangle = x
lengtht of rectangle =x + 2
area of rectangle = length × breadth
x (x+2) = 675
x² + 2x = 675
x² + 2x - 675 = 0
x² + 27x - 25x - 675 = 0
x(x+27) - 25 (x + 27)
(x+ 27) (x-25)
x = 25
breadth = 25m
length = 27m
