Question

The length and breadth of a rectangular field is in the ratio of 5:6. If its

perimeter is 880m, find its dimensions.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio is 5:6 (5+6 = 11)

length : breath

    5     :  6

length  = 400m (5/11 * 880)

breath = 480m (6/11 * 880)

400 + 480 = 880

Answer 2

Answer:

$let \: length \: be \: 5x \\ and \: breadth \: be \: 6x \\ perimeter = 2 (l + b) \\ 880 = 5x \: + 6x \\ 880 = 11x \\ \frac{880}{11} = x \\ x = 80 \\ length = 5x \\ = 5 \times 80 \\ = 400m \\ breadth = 6x \\ = 6 \times 80 \\ = 480m$
