The ratio of the length and the breadth of a rectangular plot is 6 : 5 respectively, if the breadth of the plot is 34 meters less than the length, what is the perimeter of the rectangular plot?
The ratio of the length and the breadth of a rectangular plot is 6 : 5 respectively, if the breadth of the plot is 34 meters less than the length, what is the perimeter of the rectangular plot? Correct Answer 748 meters
Given:
The ratio of length and breadth = 6 : 5
Difference between the length and breadth of a rectangular plot = 34 meters
Formula Used:
Area of the rectangle = l × b square units
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (l + b)
Calculation:
let us take the length and breadth of the rectangle be 6x, 5x respectively
According to the question,
The difference between the length and breadth of plot = Difference in the ratio of length and breadth of the plot.
⇒ 34 = 6x - 5x
⇒ x = 34
Lenght of the rectangle = 6 × 34 = 204 meters
Breadth of the rectangle = 5 × 34 = 170 meters
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × ( 204 + 174) = 748 meters
∴ The perimeter of the rectangle is 748 meters
