Question

The perimeter of a rectangular plot is 780 m. The length and breadth

of the plot

are in ratio 5:8. What is the length and breadth​

Answer 1

Answer:

length = 150m

breadth = 240m

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length be 5x

and breadth be 8x

so, perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

780m. = 2(5x + 8x)

780 = 2× 13x

780/26 = X

30 = x

so, length = 5×30 = 150m

breadth = 8× 30 = 240
