Length of a rectangular plot is 26 mtr more than its breadth.
Length of a rectangular plot is 26 mtr more than its breadth. If the cost of fencin gthe plot at 26.50 per meter is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in mtr?
Answer/Solution
63 m
Steps/Work
Let breadth = x metres.
Then, length = (x + 26) metres.
Perimeter = 5300 m = 200 m.
26.50
2[(x + 26) + x] = 200
2x + 26 = 100
2x = 74
x = 37
Hence, length = x + 26 = 63 m
B
Then, length = (x + 26) metres.
Perimeter = 5300 m = 200 m.
26.50
2[(x + 26) + x] = 200
2x + 26 = 100
2x = 74
x = 37
Hence, length = x + 26 = 63 m
