The perimeter of a rectangular field is 3/5 km. If the length of the field is twice its width; find the area of the rectangle in sq. metres.

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Given: Perimeter = km. Length of the field = Twice its width. Let `a` be the width of the field. So, the length = 2a Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width) Thus, width = km = m = 100 m Length = 2a = 2 x 100 m = 200 m Area = length x width = 200 x 100 m² = 20,000 m² Hence, the area of the rectangle is 20,000 m².
