Answer 2

Given :

The length of a rectangular plot is three times its width

To Find:

if the length of the plot is 42 m, find the area of the plot.

Solution:

Let the width of plot be x

The length of a rectangular plot is three times its width

Length of rectangular plot = 3x

We are given that the length of the plot is 42 m

So, 3x=42

x=14

Width = 14 m

Length = 42 m

Area of plot = $Length \times Width = 42 \times 14 =588 m^2$

Hence The area of plot is 588 sq.m.
