Question

The length of a rectangular lot is twice its width. If a fencing material 102 m long is available, what is the length of the lot in meters?

Answer 1

Let length be 2x m and breadth be x m

Given that length of fencing material= 102m

Therefore, Perimeter of plot = 2(l+b)

102 = 2 (2x + x)

102 = 4x + 2x

102 = 6x

x = 102/6

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

As Length = 2x m

Breadth = x m

Which implies Length= 2*17 = 34m

Breadth = x = 17m
