Question

The length and breadth of a rectangle field are in the ratio 5 : 4 . If it's perimeter is 108m, find the dimension of the field .
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length: 30m Breadth: 24m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common multiple be x,

Therefore the number will be 4x and 5x

We know,

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(l+b)

Therefore 108= 2(5x+4x)

108/2=9x

54=9x

54/9=x

6=x

Therefore Length= 5*6=30m and breadth=4*6=24m
