The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 meters. Its length is 2m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and the breadth of the pool?​

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

According to the question;

Perimeter of rectangle (p) = 154 m

Let the breadth of rectangle be "X" then length will be 2x+2.

Then;

Perimeter (p) = 2(l+b)

154 = 2((2x+2) + x)

154 = 2(3x+2)

154 = 6x + 4

or, 6x = 154-4

or, X = 150/6

Therefore, X= 25.

Hence;

Length = 2*25+2 = 52 m

Breadth = 25 m

Hope it helps!

We can assume,

Perimeter of rectangle = 154 m

Breadth = x

Length = 2x + 2

Now, perimeter = 2(l+b)

[tex] \sf \to 154= 2((2x+2) + x)[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to 154 = 2(3x+2)[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to 6x = 154-4[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to x = \frac{150}{6} = 25[/tex]

Then,

Breadth = 25 m

Length [tex] \sf = 2x + 2[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to (2 \times 25) + 2[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to 52 \: m[/tex]
