Solve Question 2(i) of Exercise 1 by using the quadratic formula.
(i) The area of a rectangular plot is `528 m^2` . The length of the plot (in meters) is one more than twice its breadth. We need to find the length and breadth of the plot.

Explanation

Area =`528m^2`
Let Breadth be `b`
Then length `l=2b+1`
So `(b)(2b+1)=528`
`2b^2+b−528=0`
`2b^2−32b+33b−528=0`
`2b(b−16)+33(b−16)=0`
`(2b+33)(b−16)=0`
So `b=16`
`l=33`.
