the length of rectangular garden is 15 meter longer than its breadth.find the length of the garden if its area is 2200 square meter. ?
Answers
ATQ,
the Length of a rectangular garden is 15m longer than it's breadth.
let the breadth of the rectangular garden be x.
therefore it's length = x + 1
given the area of the rectangular garden = 2200m²
formula to find the area of a rectangle is Length × breadth
➡ length × breadth = 2200m²
➡ (x + 15)x = 2200m²
➡ x² + 15x = 2200m²
➡ x² + 15x - 2200 = 0
using splitting the middle term method, we get
➡ x² + (55x - 40x) - 2200 = 0
➡ x² + 55x - 40x - 2200 = 0
➡ x(x + 55) - 40(x + 55) = 0
➡ (x + 55) (x - 40)
➡ x = -55 or x = 40
since measurements can't be negative. so we'll take x as 40m.
hence,
- breadth of the rectangular garden = x = 40m
- length of the rectangular garden = x + 15 = 55m
VERIFICATION :-
= 40 × 55
= 2200m²
- 15m is the Length of a rectangular garden.
- The garden is longer than it's breadth.
- let y the breadth of the rectangular garden
- Hence ,we get the length = y + 1
- 2200m² is the Given the area of the Rectangular garden.
Using formula:-
(L×B) (Length × Breadth)
length × breadth = 2200m²
(y + 15)y = 2200m²
(y² + 15)y = 2200m²
(y² + 15)y - 2200 = 0
Using Middle Term method:-
y² + (55y - 40y) - 2200 = 0
y² + 55y - 40y - 2200 = 0
y(x + 55) - 40(y + 55) = 0
(y + 55) (y - 40)
y = -55 / y = 40
y = 40m
Therefore, y + 15 = 55m is the length of the rectangular Garden.
Checking the answer [Verification ]:-
= (40 × 55)
= [2200m]²
