The length of a rectangular shaped Park exceeds it's breadth by 15 meters. If the perimeter of the park is 170 meters, then length of the park is ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth of the park be =x meters

Then the length of the park =x+17meters

∴perimeter of the park =2(l+b) =2(x+17+x) m

=2(2x+17) m

But it is given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 178 meters

∴2(2x+17)

=1784x+34

=1784x

=178−34
