Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:-

Area of a rectangle =540^2unit

Ratio of length to the breadth=5/3

Let length be 5x and breadth be 3x.

Therefore,

             Area of rectangle=lb

                                    540=(5x)(3x)

                                    540=15x^2

                               540/15=x^2

                                      36=x^2

                                        X=6

Length=5x=5×6=30

Breadth=3x=3×6=18
