Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 50 m. If the length of the field is 13 m. Find the area of the field. [2 MARKS]

Answer 1

Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that,
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 50 m.
The length of the field is 13 m.
Perimeter of rectangular field =2( length + breadth)
Or, $Breadth=\frac{perimeter}{2}-length$
Or, Breadth = 25 - 13 = 12 m
Area of rectangle = length $\times$ breadth $=13\times 12$ = 156 sq. m
The area of the rectangular field is 156 $m^2$.
