    Question

    Find the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose breadth is two-third of its length and area is 486 m².

    A.

    65 m

    B.

    90 m

    C.

    75 m

    D.

    80 m

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Area of the rectangular garden = 486 m²
    Breadth of the garden is two-third of its length.

    Formula  Used:

    The area of a rectangle is given by: Area = Length × Breadth.
    The perimeter of a rectangle is given by: Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth).

    Solution:

    Let the length be L and the breadth be B.

    B=(23)×L Area=L×B=486. L×(23)×L=486 (23)L2=486 L2=(486×3)2=729 L=729=27mB = (\frac{2}{3}) × L \\\ \\Area = L × B = 486.\\\ \\L × (\frac{2}{3}) × L = 486\\\ \\(\frac{2}{3})L² = 486\\\ \\L² = \frac{(486 × 3) }{ 2} = 729\\\ \\L = √729 = 27 m​​

    Now, to find the breadth:
    B = (2/3) × 27 = 18 m

    To find the perimeter:
    Perimeter = 2(L + B) = 2(27 + 18) = 2 × 45 = 90 m
    Thus, the perimeter of the rectangular garden is 90 meters.
