The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 122m. It's length is 4m more than twice it's breadth. What are the length and the breadth of the pool
Answers
Answer:
perimeter of rectangle=2× (L+B)
=2×(122+4)
=2×126
=256
I hope this is helpful to all
Answer:
hi and this is your answer
we know the perimeter = 122m
let's take the case of length and breadth
we are told that
the length is 4m more than twice it's breadth
so according to the statement
lets take the breadth = x
then length would be = 2x+4
now to find them simply put the length and breadth into the formula
P = 2(l + b)
122m = 2(2x+ 4 + x)
122m = 4x + 8 + 2x
122m = 6x + 8
122m - 8 = 6x
6x = 122-8
6x = 114
x = 114/6
x = 19m
so b = 19 m
l = 2x + 4
l = 2 * 19 + 4
l = 38 + 4
l = 42
so therefore length = 42m
and breadth = 19m
if you are not sure put the length and breadth into the formula of perimeter you'll get the same answer as in the question that is 122m
hope it's helpful for you
