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

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

Given: The length is twice it's breadth

Area of square swimming pool = 8×8

To find: Length of plot

solution: Let the breadth be B

So, Length be 2B

And Area be x

$8 \times 8 = \frac{1}{8} \times x$

$x = 512 {m}^{2}$

Area of rectangle =L×B

$512 = 2b \times b$

$2b = 612$

$b = \sqrt{256} = 16$

Hence, the length of the plot is 16m

Answer 2

Answer:

Let breadth of plot = 2 x m.

So, Area of plot = 2 x² me.

Area of swimming pool =8×8

=64 me

by question 64 = 2 x²/8 .x²= 64 ×

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking positive square root, we get x = 16
