Mrs. Sinha purchased a plot of perimeter 2400 m the breadth of the plot is half the length of the plot she decided to established a square shaped school for poor people of perimeter 240 m

Ques. Calculate the side of the square plot for the school

Answer 1

Perimeter=2400

Let l be the length
2(l+(l/2))=2400
3l=2400
l=800 m
b=l/2=400 m


For a square shaped plot
Perimeter=4×side
240=4×side
Side=240/4=60 m
