Problema Solution

the perimeter of a rectangular field is 80 metres.If the length of the field is decreased by 2 metres and the breadth is increased by 2 metres, the area is increased by 36sq.m. find the length and breadth of the rectangular field?

Answer provided by our tutors

primeter = 2(L+W) = 80

              L+W = 80

(L-2)(W+2) =LW+2L-2W-4

SO 2L-2W-4 = 36

     2L-2W = 40

       L -W = 20

 SOLVING TWO EQNS WE GET L = 30 W = 10
