Question

the distance around a rectangular field is 400 meters.The length of the field is 26 meters more than the breadth.Calculate the length and breadth of the field

Answer 1

perimeter of the rectangular field= 400m
let breadth of the field= x
then length of the field= x+26

perimeter of the rectangular field=
2(length+breadth)

2(x+x+26)=400
2x+26= 200
2x= 174
x = 87

breadth = 87m
length=87+26=113m

Answer 2

Breadth=87
length=113
hope it helps!
