Question

The length of the rectangular plot of land is twice its breadth. If the perimeter is 102 calculate its breadth.

Answer 1

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

given: length=2 times breadth

let l be length and b breadth and p be perimeter.

p=102 and l=2b(given in question).........(1)

we know, p=2(l+b)

so => 102=2(2b+b)     (from (1) )

   =>  51=3b

   =>   17=b

therefore, breadth is 17 units

Answer 2

Answer:

breadth = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

let BREADTH = X

LET LENGTH = 2X

PERIMETER = 2(LENGTH + BREADTH)

102= 2(2X+X)

102= 2(3X)

102= 6X

X= 102/6

X= 17

LENGTH = 2* 17= 34

THUS LENGTH IS 34 AND BREADTH IS 17 ANSWER.
