    1 hectare = 100*100 = 10,000 m^2

    2.5 hectares = 25,000 m^2

    s = length of the smaller side

    3s/2 = length of the longer side

    Area = 3s^2/2 = 25000

    s*2 = 50000/3

    s 129.1 m

    sides are 129.1 m and 193.65 m

    Perimeter = 2(129.1+193.65) =

    645.5 m

    Longer side = 25,000 m

    The area of a ground is 2.5 hectares, while there is ratio 3 : 2 between its sides,

    find the perimeter of the ground.

    A = 6x^2 = 2.5 hectare = 25000 m^2

    x^2 = 4166

    x = 50 sqrt(5/3) m ≈ 64.550 m

    P = 2(3x + 2x)

    P = 645.5 meters

  • 3x * 2x = 2.5 * 10000 square meters

    6x^2 = 25 * 10000 / 10 square meters

    6x^2 = 25 * 10000 * 10 / 100 square meters

    6x^2 = 25 * 100 * 10 square meters

    sqrt(6) * x = 5 * 10 * sqrt(10) meters

    x = 50 * sqrt(10/6) meters

    x = 50 * sqrt(60) / 6 meters

    x = 50 * 2 * sqrt(15) / 6 meters

    x = 50 * sqrt(15) / 3 meters

    P = 2 * 3x + 2 * 2x = 2 * (3x + 2x) = 2 * 5x = 10x

    10 * 50 * sqrt(15) / 3 =>

    500 * sqrt(15) / 3 =>

    645.49722436790281419654423329707...

    645.5 meter perimeter
