Question

Sanjay dives into a swimming pool of length 135 m and breadth 14,000 cm.


Find the perimeter of the swimming pool.

• A. 440 m
• B. 500 m
• C. 540 m
• D. 550 m

Answer 1

The correct option is D 550 m

We can see that Sanjay dove in a rectangular pool of length 135 m and breadth 14,000 cm.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2( l + b )

Length of the pool = 135 m
Breadth of the pool = 14000 cm = $\frac{14000}{100}$ = 140 m
{Since 100 cm = 1 m}

Perimeter of pool = 2 (135 + 140) = 2 × 275 = 550 m
Hence, the perimeter of the swimming pool is 550 m.
