Question

2. Perimeter of a rectangle is 2 m less than of the perimeter of a square. If the perimeter
of the square is 40 m, find the length and breadth of the rectangle given that the breadth
is of the length
1/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the perimeter of the rectangle be 40-2=38m

Length=x

Breadth=1/3x

Perimeter=Length+Breadth

38m=x+1/3x

38=x/3+x

38=4x/3

3*38=4x

96=4x

96/4=x

24=x

Length=24m

Breadth=1/3*24=8m

Perimeter=Length+Breadth

38m=24m+8m
