Answer is : 1Km Let the length and breadth of the rectangular field be a and b km. respectively.  Then, 2(a+b)=6  $a+b=3 ----------(i)$ and  $ab=2 -----------(ii)$ Now,  $(a-b)^2=(a+b)^2-4ab$ $(a-b)^2= 3^2- 4 *2$ $(a-b)^2=9-8$ $(a-b)^2=1$ $(a-b) =1$ Sachin Khr ? answered Nov 18 '2016 at 20:41 All Comments
