Question

the length of a rectangular field is twice its breadth. Meghna jogged around it 5 times and covered a distance of 3 km. what is the length of the field

Answer 1

Let x be the breadth of the rectangular field.

The length of the field is 2x.

We know that the perimeter of the rectangular field is (2x + 2x) = 4x.

Meghna jogged 5 times around the field, so she covered a distance of 4x km.

We know that 4x = 3km.

So, x = 0.75km, and the length of the field is 2x = 2(0.75km) = 1.5km.

Answer 2

Let x be the breadth of the rectangular field.

The length of the field is 2x.

We know that the perimeter of the rectangular field is (2x + 2x) = 4x.

Meghna jogged 5 times around the field, so she covered a distance of 4x km.

We know that 4x = 3km.

So, x = 0.75km, and the length of the field is 2x = 2(0.75km) = 1.5km.
