Question

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

Answer 1

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

The distance around a rectangular field is 400m

⇒ The perimeter is 400m

.

STEP 1: Define x:

let the Breadth be x

The length = x + 26

.............................................................................................

STEP 2: Form equation:

Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)

400 = 2[x + (26 + x)]

.............................................................................................

STEP 3: Solve x:

400 = 2[x + 26 + x]

400 = 2[2x + 26]

400 = 4x + 52

4x = 400 - 52

4x = 348

x = 87

.............................................................................................

STEP 4: Find the length and breadth:

Breadth = x = 87 m

Length = x + 26 = 87 + 26 = 113 m

..............................................................................................

Answer: The length is 113m and the breadth is 87m

.............................................................................................
