The length and breadth of a rectangle is goven in the ratio 5 : 10. Find it's length and breadth if the Perimeter is 900.
Answers
Question~
The length and breadth of a rectangle is in the ratio 5:4. If its perimeter is 90 m, then its area will be :
(a) 500 m²
(b) 360 m²
(c) 540 m²
(d) 900 m²
--------------------
Given :
The ratio of Length and Breadth = 5:4
The perimeter of Rectangle = 90 m
To find :
the area
Solution :
⇒ Let the length be 5x and breadth be 4x.
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 (l + b)
90 = 2 (5x + 4x)
90 = 2 (9x)
90 = 18x
x = 90/18
= 5
→ Length of Rectangle = 5x
= 5 × 5
= 25 m
→ Breadth of Rectangle = 4x
= 5 × 4
= 20 m
⇒ Now, let's find the Area.
Area = l × b
= 25 × 20
= 500 m²
Therefore, option (a) 500 m² is the right answer.

Question~
If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 cm and base is 4 cm, then find its height.
(a) 6 cm
(b) 3 cm
(c) 4 cm
(d) 8 cm
--------------------
Given :
Hypotenuse = 5 cm
Base = 4 cm
To find :
the height
Solution :
⇒ Let's find the Height, by using the Pythagoras theorem.
= (base)² + (height)² = (hypotenuse)²
= (4)² + (height)² = 5²
Height = √(5)²- (4)²
= √25 - 16
= √9
= 3 cm
Therefore, the height of the right triangle is 3 cm.
here is a example for your answer
5:10 is the ration pf length and breadth
let length be 5x and breadth be 10x
We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
and perimeter is given 900
therefore,
900 = 2(5x + 10x)
900 = 2(15x)
900 = 30x
900/30 = x
30 = x
now,
length = 5x = 5×30 = 150
breadth = 10x = 10×30 = 300
hope it helps you
