2m + 2b = 240

m + b = 120

m = 90

breadth = 30

90 * 30 = area

area = 2700

Solution:


\space

(i) Perimeter of the rectangular field = 240 m

2(l + b) = 240 m

= > l + b = 120 m

=> 90 m + b = 120 m

= > b = 120 m – 90 m = 30 m

So, the breadth = 30 m.


\space

(ii) Area of the rectangular field = l × b

= 90 m × 30 m

= 2700 m2

So, the required area = 2700 m2
