find the length of a rectangular plot, whose area is 350 sq m and breath is 14 m.

Question

ALSO FIND ITS PERIMETER.

 

Answer 1

Hi Rohan, the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length times the width. Here the area is given as 350 square meters and the breath (width) is given by 14 meters.

 

A = L * W

 

Substituting:

 

350 = 14 * L

 

Solve for L:

 

L = 25

 

The length of the rectangle is 25 meters.

 

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by, P = 2L + 2W.

 

Substitute for L and W:

 

P = 2 * 25 + 2 * 14

 

P = 78m
