Question

Length and the breadth of a rectangular park are in the ratio 5:3 and its
perimeter is 64 m. Find the area of the park.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 960cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common factor be x

The ration of l:b=5;3

So the length is 5x

The breadth is 3x

The perimeter is 2(l+b)=128

5x+3x=64

8x=64

x=8

So the length is 5(8)=40

The breadth is 3(8)=24

The area is 40×24=960cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

let length be 5x and breadth be 3x

perimeter=16x=64

x=4

length=20

breadth=12

area=240m^2
