The length of a rectangle is 2 more than 5 times its width. Find the perimeter of the garden if the perimeter is 160m.

Take the breadth as x, as its the smallest value- - (1)

Length is 2 more than 5 times the breadth- - (2)

perimeter=160m

l=2+5x

b=x

Perimeter=2 (l+b)

2 (2+5x+x)

=2 (2+6x)

Opening the brackets

=4+12x

4+12x=160

12x=160-4

x=156/12

=13

Therefore, by substituting the value of x

l=2+5*13=67m

b=13m
