Perimeter of a square shaped plot is 240 metres and the area of a rectangular plot is 60% more than that of the square shaped plot. Find the area (in m2) of a rectangular plot?
Perimeter of square shaped plot = 240 metres Let length of each side of the square shaped plot be ‘a’ metres. So, 4a = 240 Or, a = 60 Area of square shaped plot = 60 × 60 = 3600 m2 Area of rectangular plot = 1.60 × 3600 = 5760 m2
