Question

the length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are in the ratio of 5:3 if the total cost of fencing it at ₹24 per meter is ₹9600,find its length and breadth​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 9600/ 24= 400 m²

let, l = 5x

b= 3x

than,

Area = l * b

400 = 5x * 3x

400 = 15x²

Answer 2

Length and the breadth of a rectangle are of the ratio 5:3

Cost of fencing is ₹24 per m

Total cost = 9000

Length & Breadth of the rectangle

Solution

Let,

Length = 5x

Breadth = 3x

✭ Perimeter

→ Perimeter = Total Cost/Cost per m

→ Perimeter = 9000/24

→ Perimeter = 400 m

✭ Finding x

→ Perimeter = 2(l+b)

→ 400 = 2(5x+3x)

→ 400/2 = 8x

→ 200 = 8x

→ 200/8 = x

→ x = 25

✭ Length and Breadth

→ Length = 5x = 5×25 = 125 m

→ Breadth = 3x = 3×25 = 75 m
