16. The width of a rectangle is two-thirds its length. If the perimeter is 180 metres, find the
dimensions of the rectangle.
17. An altitude of a triangle is five-thirds the length of its corresponding base. If the altitude be
increased by 4 cm and the base decreased by 2 cm, the area of the triangle remains the
same. Find the base and the altitude of the triangle.
18. Two angles of a triangle are in the ratio 4:5. If the sum of these angles is equal to the third
angle, find the angles of the triangle.
19. A steamer goes downstream from one port to another in 9 hours. It covers the same
distance upstream in 10 hours. If the speed of the stream be 1 km/h, find the speed of the
steamer in still water and the distance between the ports.
20. The distance between two stations is 300 km. Two motorcyclists start simultaneously from
these stations and move towards each other. The speed of one of them is 7 km/h more than
that of the other. If the distance between them after 2 hours of their start is 34 km, find the
speed of each motorcyclist. Check your solution.
21. Divide 150 into three parts such that the second number is five-sixths the first and the third
number is four-fifths the second.
22. Divide 4500 into two parts such that 5% of the first part is equal to 10% of the second part.

Let Length of Rectangle be x, then Width of the Rectangle = ⅔ x

We know : Perimeter of Rectangle is 2 × (Length + Breadth)

  • Substitute the value of Perimeter, Length and Breadth

⇒ 180 m = 2 × (x + ⅔ x)

⇒ 180 m = 2x + 2 × (⅔ x)

⇒ 180 m = 2x + ⁴⁄₃ x

⇒ 180 m = ⁶⁄₃ x + ⁴⁄₃ x

⇒ 180 m = ⁶⁺⁴⁄₃ x

⇒ 180 m = ¹⁰⁄₃ x

  • Cross Multiply

⇒ 180 m × 3 = 10x

⇒ 540 m = 10x

  • Dividing Both Sides by 10

⇒ 54 m = x

Therefore

  • Length = x = 54 m
  • Breadth = ⅔ x = ⁽⁵⁴ × ²⁾⁄₃ = ¹⁰⁸⁄₃ = 36 m
