Question

. The length of a rectangular plot of land is twice its breadth. A square swimming pool of side 8 m; occupies one-eighth part of the plot. The length of the plot is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Breadth of the rectangular plot of land is B.

then length of land will be 2B.

a/c to question,

a square swimming pool of side 8m occupies one-eighth part of the plot.

it means, area of swimming pool = 1/8 × area of rectangular land

or, (side length)² = 1/8 × length × Breadth

or, (8m)² = 1/8 × 2B × B

or, 64 = 1/4 × B²

or, 64 × 4 = B²

or, B = 16 m

hence , breadth of the rectangular plot of land is 16m and length of rectangular land is 2 × 16 = 32m

so, answer is 32m

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangular plot of land is

twice its breadth. A square swimming pool

of side 8 m, occupies one-eighth part of the

plot. The length of the plot is : 32 m

=64 ×8

= 256

X = 16 cm

Length = 16×2

Length = 32 cm
