the lenght of a rectanglar plot of land is twice its breadth. if the premeter of the plot be 300 m,find its area
Answers
Correct question:
The length of a rectanglar plot of land is twice its breadth. If the perimeter of the plot is 300m, find its area.
_______________________
Given:
- Perimeter of the rectangular plot = 300m
- The length is twice its breadth.
_______________________
To find:
Area of the rectangular plot.
_______________________
Solution:
Given that perimeter is 300m.
So,
Perimeter of rectangular plot = 2(l+b)
On substituting the values in the formula,
300 = 2(2b+b)
300 = 2×3b
300 = 6b
_______________________
Verification:
On substituting the value of b as 50 in the formula,
Perimeter = 2(2b+b)
300 = 2(2×50+50)
300 = 2(100+50)
300 = 2×150
300 = 300
LHS = RHS
Hence Verified!
_______________________
Now,
- Breadth = b
= 50m
- Length = 2b
= 2×50
= 100m
_______________________
Area:
Area of the rectangular plot = l×b
Area = 100×50

Final answer:
Given :-
- Perimeter of plot = 300 m
- Length is twice more than its breadth
To find :-
- Length of Rectangular plot
- Breadth of Rectangular plot
- Area of Plot
Solution :-
Let us assume ,
- Breadth of plot be x meter
- While length of plot be used 2x meter
By using formula of Perimeter of rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 ( l+b )
⇒2 ( x+2x ) = 300
⇒2 ( 3x ) = 300
⇒6x = 300
Now,
We have to find area
We know that,
⇒Area of Rectangle = l × b
⇒( x ) × ( 2x )
