The perimeter of a rectangular plot of land is 80 m and its breadth is 16 m. Find the length and area of the plot.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given: Perimeter = 80 m

Breadth = 16 m

We know that,

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

⇒ 80 m = 2(length + 16 m)

⇒ 40m = length + 16 m

⇒ Length = 40 m – 16 m

⇒ Length = 24 m

Now,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 24 m × 16 m

= 384 m²
