when area of rectangular field is 25000 metre square(2.5 hectares) and its sides are in the ratio 3:2. find perimeter?
----
Area = 25000 m^2
Area = (3x)(2x) = 6x^2
--------------------------
6x^2 = 25000
x^2 = 4166.67
x = 64.55
----
Perimeter = 2(3x + 2x)
P = 2(5*64.566..)
P = 645.56 meters
--------------------
