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

Let the length of the park be x

Then according to the question,

Breadth=x+26 and 2(x+x+26)=400 (perimeter is 400m)

2x+26=200

2x=174

x=87m

Length =87m and as stated Breadth =87+26=113m
