Find the area and perimeter of a straight field if one side has a length of 72 m 2 dm

Find the area and perimeter of a straight field if one side has a length of 72 m 2 dm, and the length of the other is one third of the length of the first.

1. From the data presented in the problem statement, we know that the length of the first side of the field is 72 m 2 dm.

72 m 2 dm = 72.2 m.

2. Let us find what is the length of the second side of this field, if we also know that it is one third of the length of the known side, that is, 1/3.

72.2 * 1/3 = 72/3 = 24 m.

3. Now let’s calculate what is the area of this field. To do this, find the product of its two sides, we get:

72.2 * 24 = 1732.8 m ^ 2.

4. Let’s calculate what the perimeter of the field is.

(72.2 + 24) * 2 = 192.4 m.
