Q3.    Is it possible to design a rectangular mango grove whose length is twice its breadth, and the area is 800 m2? If so, find its length and breadth.

Let the breadth of mango grove be 'b'.

Then the length of mango grove will be '2b'.

And the area will be:

Area = (2b)(b) = 2b^2

Which will be equal to 800m^2 according to question.

\Rightarrow 2b^2 = 800m^2

\Rightarrow b^2 - 400 = 0

Comparing to get the values of a,b,c.

a=1, \ b= 0 , \ c = -400

Finding the discriminant value:

D = b^2-4ac

\Rightarrow 0^2-4(1)(-400) = 1600

Here, D>0

Therefore, the equation will have real roots.

And hence finding the dimensions:

\Rightarrow b^2 - 400 = 0

\Rightarrow b = \pm 20

As negative value is not possible, hence the value of breadth of mango grove will be 20m.

And the length of mango grove will be: = 2\times10 = 40m
