Hey there!
I guess there are some grammatical errors in the question. So let me write the question properly again.
If the side of a square field measures 21m , Adjacent to the square field, there is a rectangular field having it's adjacent sides in the ratio of 4 : 3 . If the perimeter of both fields are equal. Find the dimensions of the field.
Given,
Side of the square field = 21m.
We know that,
Perimeter of the square = 4 * side
Now, Perimeter of square field = 4 * 21 = 84cm .
From the question,
Ratio of length and breadth = 4 : 3
Let the length be 4x , and breadth be 3x .
We know that,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( l + b)
So, Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2 ( 4x + 3x ) = 2(7x) = 14x .
According to the question,
Perimeter of square field = Perimeter of rectangular field.
84m = 14x
x = 84/14 = 42/7 = 6 .
Now,
Length of the rectangular field = 4x = 4 × 6 = 24m.
Breadth of the rectangular field = 3x = 3 × 6 = 18m .
Therefore the dimensions of the rectangular field are 24 * 18m .
