Question

Perimeter of a square plot with side 2x meters is 50 meters. Then the length of it's side is .

• A. $\frac{25}{2}$ m
• B. $\frac{25}{4}$ m
• C. $\frac{25}{3}$ m

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{25}{2}$ m

The perimeter of a square of side $a$ units is $4a$ units.
Given, perimeter of the square is 50 meters.
$⟹4\times 2x=50$
$⟹8x=50$
$⟹x=\frac{50}{8}=\frac{25}{4}$
Given that the length of the side is 2x meters.
So, the length of each side = 2 $\times$ $\frac{25}{4}=\frac{25}{2}$ meters.
