The area of a rectangular plot is 136 square meters. the length of the plot (in meters) is one more than twice its width. find the length and width of the plot.

Let the width of the plot be 'x' meters and length be 'y' meters.

According to the question, the length of the plot (in meters) is one more than twice its width.

So,

Area of rectangular plot =

=

=

Since, area of rectangular plot = 136 square meters.

So, x-8=0 or (2x+17)=0

So, x =8 or

Since, width can not be negative.

Therefore, width of the rectangular plot = x = 8 meters

So, length of the rectangular plot = y = 1+2x = = 17 meters.

Therefore, the length and width of the rectangular plot are 17 meters and 8 meters respectively.

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
