Answer:
let the width be b m
so acc to question, length = 2(12+b) m
area = 320 sqm
Step-by-step explanation:
now, area of rect. -l'b
320 = b (24+2b)
320=24b + 2b^2
solving the equation by quadratic formula.
b=16 or b= -40
since breadth cant be negative, b= -40 is rejected so width = 16m
and accordingly length = 2(12+16) = 2*28= 54m so the equation is 320=24b +2b^2
and dimensions are breadth = 16m and length = 54m HOPE IT HELPS :D
Answer:
let the width of the rectangle is x m
then length =(2x+15) m
so,the equation is
x(2x+15)=320
=> 2x^2+15x-320=0
