Area of a rectangular field is \( \Large \Large 3584 m^{2} \) and the length and the breadth are in the ratio 7 : 2, respectively. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let length of the rectangular field = 7x m
and breadth of the rectangular field = 2x m
According to the question,
Area of rectangular field = \( \Large Length\times Breadth \)
=> 3584 = \( \Large 7x\times 2x \)
=> \( \Large 14x^{2} \) = 3584 => \( \Large x^{2} \) = \( \Large \frac{3584}{14} \) = 256
=> \( \Large x^{2} \)=256 => x=16m
Length of rectangular field
= \( \Large 7\times 16 \) = 112 m
and breadth of rectangular field
= \( \Large 2\times 16 \)= 32 m
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)
= 2(112+ 32)=\( \Large 2\times 144 \)=288m .
