Question

The perimeter of a rectangular plot is 62 m and its area is 288 sq meters. Find the dimension of the plot

Answer 1

Let the length and breadth of the rectangular plot be x and y meter, respectively. 

Therefore, we have:

Perimeter = 2(x + y) = 62.......(i) and

Area = xy = 228/x

⇒ y = 228/x

Putting the value of y in (i), we get

If x = 19m,y = 228/19 = 12m

Therefore, the length and breadth of the plot are 19 m and 12 m, respectively.
