Question

Mark has a rectangular piece of land of perimeter 1200m and length 400m .if he divides the land among five of his sons such that all have an equal perimeter what is the perimeter of each plot of land

Answer 1

Answer:

240 m each

Step-by-step explanation:

Just divide 1200m by Mark number of Sons

so each of his Son gets equal Plot of Land

Answer 2

Answer:

Perimeter = 2(l+b)

1200 = 2(400+b)

2 shifts to the left -------   1200/2 = 400+b, which is 600 = 400 + b

Therefore width is b = 600-400 (which becomes 200)

Now, divide the length by 5 (number of sons), which becomes 400/5 = 80

Now,  2(80+200)

Therefore, Answer is 560
