Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 280 meters. The width of the garden is 26 meters less than the length. Rose bushes are to be grown along the length of the garden and mulberry trees are to be grown along the width. Q4. What is the area of the garden?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the breadth of rectangular swimming pool be x metres.

Then, its length =(2x+2) metres.

We know that the Perimeter of a rectangle =2(Length+Breadth)

=2(2x+2+x)=6x+4

According to the given condition, we have

6x+4=154

⇒6x=154−4 ..[By transposing 4 to RHS]

⇒6x=150

⇒

6

x

=

6

150

...[Dividing both sides by 6]

⇒x=25

Thus, breadth =25 m and length =25×2+2=52 m

Answer 2

Answer:

For example, area of a garden measuring 20 feet by 25 feet would be 20 times 25, or 500 square feet. Some basic formulas are needed to make these calculations. The area of a square or rectangle, as just calculated above, is simply length times width.
