The length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the rate you 5: 2: If the perimeter of the field is 140 metre, find the area of the rectangle.


GIven: The length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the rate you 5: 2, the perimeter of the field is 140 metre

To find:  area of the rectangle

Solution:


Let the length and breadth be 5x and 2x
.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 140 .......(Given)

So, 2(5x+2x) = 140

14x = 140

x = 10.

Thus length =5x= 50 m

breadth = 2x = 20 m.

Area of rectangle = L $ \times $ B = 50 $ \times $ 20 = 1000 Sq. m.
