Question

The area of a swimming pool is 225.28 sq.m. Its breadth is 8.8 m, find its length

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = l×b

225.28 = l×8.8

225.28/8.8 = length

Length = 25.6

Answer 2

Answer :-

• The length of the swimming pool = 25.6 m.

Given :-

• The area of a swimming pool is 225.28 sq.m.
• It's breadth is 8.8 m.

To find :-

• The length of the swimming pool.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• In this question, the area of a swimming pool is given. We know it's breadth and we have to find it's length. Since we only know the length and breadth, therefore it is a rectangular pool. So, to find the length of this pool, we will use the formula required for finding the area of a rectangle.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Calculations :-

We know that :-

$\overline{\underline{\boxed{\tt Area \: of \: a \: rectangle = L \times B.}}}$

Here,

• Area = 225.28 sq.m.
• Breadth = 8.8 m.

Let's assume that the length be l.

Substituting the given values in this formula,

$\sf\implies225.28 = l \times 8.8$

• Transposing 8.8 from RHS to LHS, changing it's sign,

$\sf\implies \dfrac{225.28}{8.8} = l$

• Dividing 225.28 by 8.8,

$\boxed{ \sf \implies25.6 = l.}$

• The value of l = 25.6.

Hence, the length of the pool = 25.6 m.
