The length and breadth of a rectangular park are in the ratio 8:5. A path,1.5 m wide, running all around the outside of the park has an area of 594 sq m. Find the dimensions of the park.

Correct answer:

a =  120 m
b =  75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a:b=8:5 = 8x+5x p=2 1.5=3 m A2=594 m2  (8x+p) (5x+p)=8x 5x+A2 (8x+3) (5x+3)=8x 5x+594  (8 x+3) (5 x+3)=8 x 5 x+594  39x=585  x=39585=15  x=15  a=8 x=8 15=120 m
b=5 x=5 15=75 m
