The area of the rectangular plot is 140m^2. The length of the plot (in metres) is one less than three times its breadth. We have to find length & breadth pf the plot\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let breadth be x
\n" ); document.write( "length is 3x-1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = \"140+m%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area of rectangle = L * B\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "140 =x(3x-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"140+=+3x%5E2-x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%5E2-x-140=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula
