Let length = L and breadth = BLet , New breadth = ZThen, New length = ( 160 / 100) L.= 8L / 5? 8L / 5 x Z = LBor Z = 5B/8Decrease in breadth = (B-5B/8)= 3B/8? Decrease in percent = (3B/8 x1/B ) x 100 %= 371/2%
Let length of the rectangular field = 7k m and breadth of the rectangular field = 2k mAccording to the question,Area of a rectangular field = Length x Breadth? 3584 = 7k x 2k ? 14 x k2 = 3584 ? k2 = 3584/14 = 256? k2 = 256 = 16 m? Length of rectangular field = 7k = 7 x 16 = 112 mAnd breadth of rectangular field = 2 x 16 = 32 m? Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length x Breadth)= 2(112 + 32) = 2 x 144 = 288 m
