A rectangular plot has an area of $528 m^{2}$ , and its length is 1 m more than twice its breadth. Find its length.

Competition practiceAlgebra

A33 m
B16 m
C32 m
D24 m

Step-by-Step Solution

b (2 b + 1) = 528

gives

2 b^{2} + b - 528 = 0, (b - 16) (2 b + 33) = 0

, so

b = 16

m and length = 33 m.

Answer: A) 33 m
