The length of a rectangular plot is 40 more than it's breadth. The perimeter of the plot is 92 metres.
Here,the plot is rectangle-shaped. The dimensions are such that, the length is 40+ it's breadth and also, it's perimeter is 92metres. So, we need to find the dimensions of the plot.

Explanation:
Given that,
The length of a rectangular plot is 40 more than it's breadth. The perimeter of the plot is 92 metres.
Here, the plot is rectangle-shaped. The dimensions are such that, the length is 40+ it's breadth and also, it's perimeter is 92metres. So, we need to find the dimensions of the plot.
Step 1 :
If we assume the breadth as ‘x’ metres.
Then, it's length will be (x + 40) metres.
Step 2 :
We know that,
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
So, Perimeter of the rectangle :
→ 2(x + x + 40)
→ 2(2x + 40)
→ 4x + 80
But, perimeter is 92 metres. (given)
Again,
→ 92 = 4x + 80
→ 92 - 80 = 4x
→ 12 = 4x
→ 12/4 = x
→ 3 = x
∴ The breadth is 3 metres
And also, Length will be 43 metres ✔
