Let :-
- The breadth of rectangle = x
- The length of rectangle = 2x + 2
Given :-
- The perimeter of rectangle = 154m
To Find :-
- The length and breadth of rectangle = ?
Solution :-
- To calculate length and breadth of pool at first calculate the value of x the calculate the dimension of pool by applying formula.
⇢ Perimeter of pool = 2(length + breadth
⇢ 2(2x + 2 + x) = 154
⇢ 2(3x + 2) = 154
⇢ 6x + 4 = 154
⇢ 6x = 154 - 4
⇢ 6x = 150
⇢ x = 25
Hence,
⇢The length of rectangle (2x + 2) = 2×25 + 2 = 52m
⇢ The breadth of rectangle (x) = 25 m
