The length of a rectangular playground is 2cm length that its breath. If the area of the 195sq. M, find the length and breath of the field.
Answers
Given :-
- Length of rectangular ground = 2 cm more ghan its breadth.
- Area of ground = 195 cm²
To find :-
- Length & breadth of ground.
Solution :-
Let the breadth of ground be n cm & length of ground be (n + 2) cm
As we know,
◗ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
Putting all values :
⇒ (n + 2) × n = 195
⇒ n² + 2n = 195
⇒ n² + 2n - 195 = 0
⇒ n² + 15n - 13n - 195 = 0
⇒ n(n + 15) - 13(n + 15) = 0
⇒ (n - 13)(n + 15) = 0
⇒ n = 13 or, n = -15
∵ Breadth of rectangle can't be negative
∴ Breadth = n = 13 cm
Now finding length of rectangular ground
⇒ Length = n + 2
⇒ Length = 13 + 2
⇒ Length = 15 cm
Therefore,
∴ Hence, length & breadth of ground are 15 cm & 13 cm respectively.
QUESTION :
The length of a rectangular playground is 2cm length that its breath.
If the area of the 195sq. M, find the length and breath of the field.
SOLUTION :
Suppose that in the above question, the length of the rectangle is X cm .
The length is 2 cm more than the breadth.
So, Breadth = X - 2 cm.
The area is 195 m ^2
=> X ^2 - 2 X - 195 = 0
=> X^2 - 15 X + 13 X - 195 = 0
=> X ( X - 15 ) + 13 ( X - 15 ) = 0
=> ( X + 13 ) ( X - 15 ) = 0
=> X = 15
=> X - 2 = 13.
So the final answer becomes :
Length of the field = 15 m.
Breadth of the field is 13 m
