2 (length + breadth)
length x breadth
Answer with Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle =
2(l+b)
Given l:b = 5:3

L=5x, b = 3 x
P=480m
2(5x+3x) = 480
16 x = 480
x = 30
l=5x
5 x 30 = 150
b= 3 x
3x30 = 90
area = l x b = 150 x 90
area of rectangle
Area, BU
= 13500 m2

2. If the length and breadth of a rectangular plot are increased by 50% and 20%
respectively, then the new area is how many time the original area?
Ans:1915
Basic Formula:
Area of a recentagle
Moderately easy
Difficult
length x breadth

Let length = a , breadth = b
Area =
ab,
New length = 150% of a = 150 / 100 a
3 a /2
New breadth = 120% of b = 120/100 b
6b/5
New area
= new length x new breadth

= 3a / 2 x 6b/ 5
= 9/5 ab
= 9/5 (original area)

3. The length of a rectangle is increased by 60%/ By what percent would the width
have to be decreased to maintain the same area?
Ans : 37.5
Moderately easy

a & breadth = b
ab
New length = 60% of a

New breadth =
160/100a =
8/5a
c (say)
Then area
= ab
New length x new breadth = ab
8a/5 x c
ab
ab x 5/8a c = 5b/8
decrease in breadth
