Question

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154m. It's length is 2m more than twice it's breadth. What are the length and breadth of the pool

Answer 1

Perimeter of the rectangular swimming pool=154m
Let the breadth be=x
Then, the length=2x+2m
Perimeter=2(l+b)
154=2(2x+2+x)
154=4x+4+2x
154=4x+2x+4
154=6x+4
154-4=6x
150=6x
25=x
Breadth=25m
Length=2x+2m
=2*x+2m
=2*25+2m
=50+2m
=52m
Therefore,Breadth=25m and Length=52m
