The area of one rectangle is equal to the area of another rectangle, which is 6m in length.
Width is less than 4m. The area of the third rectangle is the same as the original rectangle, with a length of 8 m and more
Width is less than 5m; So find the length and width of the original rectangle. today is my exam so please answer fast you will not know the answer please will not answer this question
Answers
Let the length and breadth of the original rectangle be “l” & “b” respectively.
It is given that, the area of the original rectangle is equal to the area of another rectangle with length 6 m more and breadth 4 m less, so we can write the eq. as,
lb = (l+6)(b-4)
⇒ lb = lb – 4l + 6b – 24
⇒ – 4l + 6b – 24 = 0 …… (i)
Also given that, the area of the original rectangle is equal to the area of the third rectangle with length 8 m more and breadth 5 m less, so we can write the eq. as,
lb = (l+8)(b-5)
⇒ lb = lb – 5l + 8b – 40
⇒ – 5l + 8b – 40 = 0 …… (ii)
Now, multiplying eq. (i) with 5 and eq. (ii) with 4 and then subtracting bothe equations, we get
-20l + 30b -120 = 0
-20l +32b – 160 = 0
+ - +
--------------------------------
2b = 40
---------------------------------
∴ b = 20 m
Substituting b = 20 m in eq. (i), we get
– 4l + (6*20) – 24 = 0
⇒ - 4l = -96
⇒ l = 24 m
