The length of a hall is 3 metres more than its breadth. If the area of the hall is 238 square metres, calculate its length and breadth.

I also study this question

Length is 3 m more than breadth.

Area of the hall = 238 m²

its length and breadth.​

Let the breadth of the hall be x m.

Length is 3 m more than breadth.

→ Length of the hall = (x + 3) m

Also given that,

Area of the hall = 238 m²

We know that,

Area of a rectangle = length * breadth

Hence,

→ 238 = (x + 3) * x

→ x² + 3x - 238 = 0

→ x² - 14x + 17x - 238 = 0

→ x(x - 14) + 17(x - 14) = 0

→ (x + 17)(x - 14) = 0

• x + 17 = 0

→ x = - 17

• x - 14 = 0

→ x = 14

Breadth of a hall cannot be negative. So, positive value is taken.

Therefore,

Length of the hall = x + 3 = 14 + 3 = 17 m.

Breadth of the hall = x = 14 m.

I hope it will help you.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p
