Greetings from Careers360!

To calculate the length and breadth of the rectangular field, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Breadth)

Given that the perimeter is 400 meters and the length is 26 meters more than the breadth, we can set up the following equation:

400 = 2 * (Breadth + Breadth + 26)

Simplifying this, we get:

400 = 2 * (2 * Breadth + 26)

400 = 4 * Breadth + 52

400 - 52 = 4 * Breadth

348 = 4 * Breadth

Breadth = 348 / 4 = 87 meters

Now, the length is:

Length = Breadth + 26 = 87 + 26 = 113 meters

So, the length of the field is 113 meters, and the breadth is 87 meters. If you have any other queries or need guidance on colleges or courses, feel free to ask or visit our website!
