the length and breadth of a rectangular plot is in the ratio of 4:3. if the perimeter is 140m, find the length and breadth of a rectangle

Respuesta :

Answer:

l = 40 m and b = 30 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be 4x and 3x.

We know that,

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

140 = 2(4x+3x)

70 = 7x

x = 10

Length, l = 4x = 4(10) = 40 m

Breadth, b = 3x= 3(10) = 30 m

So, the length and breadth of a rectangle are 40 m and 30 m respectively.
