A rectangular field is 10m longer than wide. The area of the field is 2000m². Find the perimeter of the field.

Sagot :

Answer:

180m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = length of field,

W = width of field,

A = field area = 2000 m^2

Lenght = Width + 10m

Let Lenght= x

Width=y

A = X ×Y = (Y + 10)Y= 2000

Y^2 + 10Y- 2000 = 0

Solving using Quadratic eqn with plot

Y= 40 or -50 but we go for the positive root

Width=40m

Length= 40m +10m

= 50m

Perimeter= 2(l+w)

=2(50+40)

180m

Hence, the perimeter is 180 m
