=> Solution with Explanations =>

Let, Length of rectangular plot x meters,breadth of rectangular plot
y meters.
So, Area of rectangular plot = xy m2
Perimeter of rectangular plot = 2(x+y) meters.

According to the Question,

xy=323 . . . . . (1)

And 2(x+y) =72, => (x+y) = 36

=> y = 36-x . . . . .(2)
By putting the value of y in equation (1), we get,
x(36-x) = 323
=> 36x –x2 = 323
=> x2-36x+323=0
=> x2-19x-17x+323 =0
=> x(x-19)-17(x-19) =0
=> (x-19)(x-17) = 0
Either, (x-19) = 0 Or, x-17=0
=> x=19 m => x=17 m
In equation (2),
If x=19, then y= 36-19=17 m
If x=17, then y= 36-17=19 m
So, the length and breadth of the plot is (19 m, 17 m) or (17 m, 19

=> Solution with Explanations =>

Let, Breadth of rectangular plot x meters.
So, Length of rectangular plot is (x +20) meters.
So, Perimeter of rectangular plot = 2(Length + Breadth)
= 2(x+20+x) = 2(2x+20) = (4x+40) meters.
(x+20)
According to the Question,
(4x+40) = 160 meters
=> 4x = 160-40 x x
=> 4x = 120
120
=> x =
4
(x+20)
=> x = 30 meters.
And (x+20) = (30+20) = 50 meters.
So, Area of rectangular plot = Length × Breadth = 50×30 = 1500
m2 [Answer]

=> Smart Solution =>

Perimeter = 2{(x+20) + x} = 2(2x+20) = (4x+40) = 160
∴ x = 30 meters & (x+20) = (30+20) = 50 meters.
∴ The area of rectangular plot = 50×30 = 1500 m2 [Answer]

=> Solution with Explanations =>

(x+30)

x x

(x+30)

Let, Width of rectangular field x feet

So, the length of rectangular field is (x+30) feet.
So, the perimeter of rectangular field = 2(Length + Breadth) =
2{(x+30) + x} = 2(2x+30) =4x+60 feet
A.T.Q,
4x + 60 = 380
=> 4x = 380 - 60
=> 4x = 320
320
=> x =

=> x = 80 feet
(x+30) = (80+30) = 110 feet
So, the area of the rectangular field = Length × Breadth = 110 × 80

 10x = 10×25 = 250 meters & 6x = 6×25 = 150 meters
So, Area of the field = Length × Breadth = 250 × 150 = 37,500 m2

=> Smart Solution =>
Ratio of Length to Breadth = 10:6 unit
Sum = (10+6) = 16 unit
Perimeter = 2×16 = 32 unit

=> Solution with Explanations =>

Let, Length of rectangular plot x meters and breadth of rectangular
plot y meters.
So, Area of rectangular plot = xy m2
Perimeter of rectangular plot = 2(x+y) meters.

A.T.Q,
xy=360 . . . . . (1)
And 2(x+y) = 76
Or, (x+y) = 38
Or, y = 38-x . . . . .(2)
By putting the value of y in equation (1), we get,
x(38-x) = 360
=> 38x –x2 = 360
=> x2-38x+360=0
=> x2-20x-18x+360=0
=> x(x-20)-18(x-20)=0
=> (x-20)(x-18)=0
Either, x-20=0 Or, x-18=0
=> x=20 m => x=18 m

In equation (2),
If x=20, then y= 38-20=18 m
If x=18, then y= 38-18=20 m

=> Solution with Explanations =>

Let, length and breadth of a rectangle is x meters and y meters
respectively.
According to the Question,
(x-y) = 23 meters . . . .(1)
We know, the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth) =
2(x + y) meters.
According to the Question,
2(x + y) = 206
206
=> (x + y) =
2
=> (x + y) = 103 . . . .(2)
Equation (1) + (2), we get,
2x = 126
=> x = 63 meters. Zobel Al Monsor

By putting the value of x in equation (1), we get,

63-y = 23
=> y = 63-23
=> y = 40 meters.

So, the area of the rectangle is x×y = 63×40 = 2,520 m2 [Answer]
