Let the breadth of the plot be x metre.
Length = (x + 10) metre
Area of rectangle = length x breadth
200 = (x + 10) x x
200 = x² + 10x
That is x² + 10x = 200
x² + 10x - 200 = 0
Now,
solving equation x² + 10x - 200 = 0, we will decide the dimensions of the plot.

Answer:
Length = 20 metres and Breadth = 10 metres
Explanation:
Let the breadth of the plot be x metres.
So, length of the plot = (x+10) metres
According to the question, we have
x(x+10)=200
=>+10x=200
=>+10x-200=0
=>+20x-10x-200=0
=>x(x+20)-10(x+20)=0
=>(x+20)(x-10)=0
So, x =10 metres [Since, length cannot be negative]
So, length of the plot = (10+10) metres
= 20 metres
