Question

1) In a rectangle of perimeter one metre , one side is 5 centimetres longer than the other .

What are the lengths of the sides ?

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

leng of 1 side =x

other side =x+5

perimeter given=1

2(x+x+5)=1

2(2x+5)=1

4x+10=1

4x=1-10=-9

this is the route of this type of questions.but i think here, question has some mistakes...

Answer 2

Let breadth=x
Length=x+5(given)
Perimeter=1 m=100 cm
Perimeter=2(l+b)=2(x+x+5)
=2(2x+5)=4x+10
Therefore 4x+10=100
4x=90
X=22.5
Breadth=22.5 cm
Length=22.5+5=27.5 cm
