Question

The length of a rectangular field is 10 m more than its breadth. If the perimeter of the field is 52 m ,what are the length and the breadth of the field

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

the breadth of rectangular field be X m

lenght of rectangular field = (X + 10) m

Perimeter of it = 52 m

then,

⇒ perimeter of rectangular field = 2{(X + 10) +X}

⇒ 52 = 2{(X + 10) +X}

⇒ 52 = 2{X + 10 +X}

⇒ 52 = 2{2X + 10}

⇒ 52 = 4X + 20

⇒ 52 - 20 = 4X

⇒ 32 = 4X

⇒ 4X = 32

⇒ X = 32/4

⇒ X = 8

Hence, the breadth of rectangular field is 8 m and the length of rectangular field is 18 m.
