Answer 2

Given :

• The length and the breadth of a rectangular school playground are in the ratio 5:3.
• Length of the rectangular school playground = 110 m.

To find :

• Perimeter of the rectangular playground of the school =?

Step-by-step explanation :

Let, the length of the rectangular school playground be, 5x.

Then, the breadth of the rectangular school playground be, 3x.

Now,

It is Given that,

Length of the rectangular school playground = 110 m.

So,

5x = 110

x = 110/5

x = 22.

Therefore, We got the value of, x = 22 m.

Hence, Breadth of the rectangular school playground, 3x = 3 × 22 = 66 m.

Now,

As We know that,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

= 2(110 + 66)

= 2 × 176

= 352.

Therefore, Perimeter of the rectangular school playground = 352 m.
