nisha has a rectangular plot of land that has been fenced with 300 m long wires . Find the dimentions of the plot,if its length is twice the breath
breadth will be : x. length be 2x.
2(l+b)
2(x+2x)
2 × 3x
6x=300
x=300/6
x=50
rectangular plot is 50m.and length is 100m
I had asked same question someone helped me as well
Thank u so much

For this answer i am very counfused
And i open google i can see ur answer thank u for this answer jiskha
Thank you for your answer
Well, Nisha must have a lot of wire to create such a fancy fence! Anyway, let's solve this puzzle together.
Let's assume the breadth of the plot is 'x' meters. According to the problem, the length is twice the breadth, so it would be 2x meters.
Now let's calculate the perimeter of the plot using the formula: perimeter = 2(length + breadth).
Given that the total length of the wire used for fencing is 300 meters, we can set up the equation:
300 = 2(2x + x)
Simplifying this equation, we get:
300 = 2(3x)
To find the value of 'x', we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:
50 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 50/3
So the breadth of the rectangular plot is approximately 16.67 meters (rounded to two decimal places).
Since the length is twice the breadth, the length would be approximately 33.33 meters (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the dimensions of Nisha's plot are approximately 33.33 meters (length) x 16.67 meters (breadth). That's a pretty fancy plot!
To find the dimensions of the rectangular plot, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the breadth of the plot is "b" meters. According to the problem, the length (L) is twice the breadth.
From the given information, we know that:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * (Length + Breadth)
Since the perimeter of the plot is equal to the total length of the wire used for fencing, we can set up the equation:
2 * (L + b) = 300
Substituting L = 2b into the equation, we have:
2 * (2b + b) = 300
Simplifying the equation:
2 * (3b) = 300
6b = 300
b = 50
Therefore, the breadth of the plot is 50 meters.
Since the length (L) is twice the breadth, we multiply the breadth by 2:
L = 2 * b
L = 2 * 50
L = 100
Therefore, the length of the plot is 100 meters.
So, the dimensions of the rectangular plot are 100 meters by 50 meters.
