Question #1080b

Answer 1

`b = "7 miles", l = "14miles"`

Explanation:

Let the length be `l` and the breadth be `b`. Thus, according to question,

`lxx b = 98`

`l(l-7)=98`

So

`l^2-7l=98`

`l^2-7l-98=0`

`l^2-14+7l-98=0`

`l(l-14)+7(l-14)=0`

`l+7(l-14)=0`

`l=-7, l=14`

Since length cannot be negative, the length of the field is `14` miles and the breadth is `7` miles.
