Q13 of 46 Page 156

The length of a rectangular field is twice its breadth. If the perimeter of the field is 288 m, find the dimensions of the field.

Let b be the breadth of the rectangle, ⇒ length = 2b


Given, Perimeter = 288


⇒ 2(Length + breadth) = 288


⇒ 2b + b = 288/2


⇒ 3b = 144


⇒ b = 48


The Length and breadth of the rectangle are 48 and 96 respectively.
