The length of a rectangular field is thrice its breadth. If the perimeter is 40 meters, then find the area of the field.
Answers
Answer:
Given :-
- The length of a rectangular field is thrice its breadth.
- The perimeter is 40 metres.
To Find :-
- What is the area of the field.
Solution :-
Let,
As we know that :
Perimeter Of Rectangle Formula :
According to the question by using the formula we get,
Hence, the required length and breadth of a rectangular field are :
❒ Length Of A Rectangular Field :
❒ Breadth Of A Rectangular Field :
Now, we have to find the area of the field :
As we know that :
Area Of Rectangle Formula :
Given :
- Length = 15 m
- Breadth = 5 m
According to the question by using the formula we get,
=> let the breadth if rectangular field be x meters.
☆ Given that:
The length of a rectangular field is thrice its breadth
=> length = 3×breadth
=> length = 3x
☆ perimeter:
=> perimeter = 2(L+B)
=> 40=2(3x+x)
=> 40=2(4x)
=> 40=8x
=> x 40/8
=> x=5
Breadth of rectangular field, x = 5m
Length of rectangular field,3x=3(5)=15m
Therefore, Dimensions of the field are 5 meters and 15 meters respectively
☆ Area of field:
=> Area = L×B
=> Area = 15m×5m
=> Area = 75m2
=> The Area of the rectangular is 75m2.
