Question

The length of a rectangular plot is 40 meters more than its

breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot at Rs.53 per meter is Rs. 10,600,

what is the length of the plot in meters?
pls give explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

length=x+40

breadth=x

fencing the plot=Rs.53 per meter

total rs. = 10,600

$10600 \div 53 \\ = 200$

the plot is of=200 m

$x + 40 + x = 200 \\ 2x + 40 = 200 \\ 2x = 200 - 40 \\ 2x = 160 \\ x = \frac{160}{2} \\ x = 80$

length=80+40=120

breadth=80

Answer 2

Answer:

Length is 70 m and breadth is 30 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Length = 40 m more than its breadth

Cody of fencing = Rs. 10600

Length and breadth = ?

Let the -

• Breadth be b
• Length be b + 40

★ Perimeter of the rectangle -

Divide the cost of fencing by rate of fencing

⇒ 10600 ÷ 53

⇒ 200

Perimeter = 200 m

★ Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)

⇒ (b + 40 + b) × 2 = 200

⇒ 2b + 40 = 100

⇒ 2b = 60

⇒ b = 60/2

⇒ b = 30

Breadth = 30

★ Length =

⇒ 30 + 40

⇒ 70

Length = 70

Therefore, length is 70 m and breadth is 30 m.
