Question:
The length of a rectangular park is twice its breadth, and its perimeter measures 840 m. Find the area of the park.
Solution:
Let the breadth of the rectangular park be $b$.
$\therefore$ Length of the rectangular park $=l=2 b$
Perimeter $=840 \mathrm{~m}$
$\Rightarrow 840=2(l+b)$
$\Rightarrow 840=2(2 b+b)$
$\Rightarrow 840=2(3 b)$
$\Rightarrow 840=6 b$
$\Rightarrow b=140 \mathrm{~m}$
Thus, we have:
$l=2 b$
$=2 \times 140$
$=280 \mathrm{~m}$
Area $=l \times b$
$=280 \times 140$
$=39200 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
