Question

the width of a rectangular plot of land is one quater of it's lenght. if the perimeter is 360m find the lenght of the land and the width of the land

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the width of the rectangular plot be x then the length will be 4x.

Perimeter of the rectangular plot = 360m

We know that,

Perimeter = 2*(l + b) where l=length and b = breadth

360 = 2*(4x+x)

or, 360= 2* 5x

or, 360 =10x

or, x = 36

Hence the width = x = 36m

And the length = 4x

= 4*36

=144m
