Question

the length of a rectangular plot exceeds its breadth by 5m. if the peimeter of the plot is 142m, find the diensions of the plot.

Answer 1

let the width bex then length is x+5
a/q
2×(x+x+5) =142
2×(2x+5) = 142
4x+10 =142
4x-132 =0
x=132/4
x=33
so width =x=33
and length =x+5=38

Answer 2

the way to fin the area of a rectangle is 2 * (l + b)
breadth = 5
142 / 2 = 71
so that is l + b
to find out l , we should the the b value that is 5 from the total that is 71 - 5 = 66
so,
b = 5m
l= 66m
