.
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 500 yards and its area is 14400 square yards. What is its length and breadth?
----------------------------------------------------------

Answer. L = 160 yards, B = 90 yards. 

Solution


L + B = 250,
LB = 14400.

L = 250 - B;

(250-B)*B = 14400;

 = ;

 = ;

Factor left side:

 = (B -90)*(B-160).

The roots are B = 90 and/or B = 160.

The length is 160 yards. The breadth is 90 yards.
