it is possible to design a rectangular park of perimeter 80m and area 400m²? if so, find its length and breadth??
Answers
Answer:
20 m and 20 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of that rectangle be a and breadth be b.{ units are ignored in calculation }
According to the question:
Perimeter of rectangle is 80 m
⇒ 2( a + b ) = 80 m
⇒ a + b = 40
⇒ b = 40 - a ...( 1 )
Given,
⇒ Area = 400
⇒ length x breadth = 400
⇒ ab = 400
⇒ a( 40 - a ) = 400 { from ( 1 ) b = 40 - a }
⇒ 40a - a^2 = 400
⇒ a^2 - 40a = - 400
⇒ a^2 + 400 - 40a = 0
⇒ a^2 + 20^2 - 2(20a) = 0
⇒ ( a - 20 )^2 = 0 { using a^2 + b^2 - 2ab = ( a - b )^2 }
⇒ a - 20 = 0 ⇒ a = 20
Thus,
Length is 20 m and breadth is 40 - 20 m = 20 m.

perimeter= 80m
2(a+b)=80
a+b=40m
a=40-b
We have ,..
Area= 400m²
a×b=400m²
(40-b)×b=400
40b-b²=400
b²-40b+400=0
b²-2(20b)+20²=0
(b-20)²=0
b-20=0
b=20m
a+b=40
a+20=40
a=20m
