Answer:
- The perimeter of a rectanglar swimming pool is 154m. Its lenght is 2m more than twice its breadth. what are the length and the breadth of the pool.
- What are the length and the breadth of the pool.
Let the breadth be 'x'
Length = 2 + 2x
Now perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)
➔ 2(l + b) = 154
➔ 2 ( 2 + 2x + x) = 154
➔ 2 ( 2 + 3x) = 154
➔ 2 + 3x = 77
➔ 3x = 75
➔ x = 25 m
➤ Required breadth = 25 m
➤ Length = 2 + 2 x 25 = 52 m
Henceforth, the length and the breadth of the pool is 52 m and 25 m respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the Breadth as x
Length = 2x + 2
★ We know that :
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
⟹2(x+2x+2)=154
⟹2x+4x+4=154
⟹6x=154−4
⟹6x=150
⟹ x= 150/6
⟹x=25
Value of 2x + 2
⟹25×2+2
⟹50+2
⟹52
∴ The Length is 52 m and Breadth is 25 m.
