Question

The length and the beardth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 5:3 if its its perimeter is 128m find the dimension of the field

Answer 1

ratio of length to breadth = 5:3
let length be 5x and breadth be 3x

perimeter=128 m
5x + 3x = 128 m
8x = 128 m
x= 128÷8
x = 16 m

length is 5x = 5 *16 =80 m
breadth 3x = 3*16 =48 m
