The sides of a rectangular field of 864 m2 are in the ratio of 3 : 2. Find the sides of the rectangle.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Ratio of sides of rectangle = 3 : 2
Let Side 1 = 3x and Side 2 = 2x
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
3x × 2x = 864
6 x² = 864
x² = 144
x = 12 m
So sides of rectangle are 3×12 and 2×12 .
Ans :- 36 m and 24 m
