Answers:
(i) Length = 82 m
(ii) Area = 3,444 m²
Explanation:
1- getting the length of the plot:
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as follows:
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
We are given that the perimeter is 248 m and that the breadth is 42 m
Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the length as follows:
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
248 = 2(length + 42)
length + 42 = 248/2
length + 42 = 124
length = 124 - 42
length = 82 m
2- getting the area:
The area of a rectangle is calculated as follows:
Area = length * breadth
We have the length = 82 m and the breadth = 42 m
Therefore:
Area = length * breadth
Area = 82 * 42
Area = 3,444 m²
Hope this helps :)
