the area of a square field is 5184 m². A rectangular field, whose length is twice its breadth, has its perimeter equal to the perimeter of the square field. Find the area of the rectangular field.
Answers
Answer:
Given: area of square =5184m
2
∴ Side of square =72m(to find side do prime factorisation (
The perimeter of square =4×72=288m
Let breadth of rectangle =xm
∴ Length of rectangle =2xm
Now, perimeter of rectangle= Perimeter of a square
⇒2(l+b)=288m
⇒2(2x+x)=288
⇒x=
6
288
=48m
∴ Length =2×48=96m, Breadth =48m
i have edited hope it helps
Therefore area of rectangle =l×b=96×48=4608m

the area of a square field is 5184 m². A rectangular field, whose length is twice its breadth, has its perimeter equal to the perimeter of the square field. Find the area of the rectangular field.
ATQ,
Perimeter of the square field = perimeter of the rectangular field
Given area of the square field = 5184m²
We know that,
Side² = area of a square
➡ side² = 5184m²
➡ side = √5184
➡ side = 72m
Thus it's perimeter = 4 × side (since a square has 4 equal sides)
= 4 × 72
= 288m
Therefore the perimeter of the rectangle is also 288m.
Now it's given that the length of the rectangular field is twice it's breadth.
Let the breadth of the rectangular field be x.
Therefore it's length = 2x
➡ 2 ( length + breadth ) = 288m
➡ 2(2x + x) = 288m
➡ 6x = 288m
➡ x = 288/6
➡ x = 48m
The dimensions of the rectangular field are :-
breadth = x = 48m
length = 2x = 96m
Hence, it's area = length × breadth
= 48 × 96
= 4608m² Final answer
