Question

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

Answer 1

Given ,

• Perimeter of rectangular field = 400 m

• Length of field is 26 more then the breadth

Let ,

The breadth of rectangle be " x "

Then , length = " x + 26 "

We know that , the perimeter of rectangle is given by

$\boxed{ \sf{Perimeter = 2(l + b) }}$

Thus ,

400 = 2(x + 26 + x)

200 = 2x + 26

2x = 174

x = 174/2

x = 87 m

Therefore ,

• The length and breadth of rectangle are 113 m and 87 m
