2) The perimeter of rectangle is 36 cm.what is the breadth if the length is twice the breadth?
Answers
ANSWER:
Given : Perimeter of rectangle is 36 cm
To find : Length and breadth
Solution :-
Let breadth be x cm
Said that, length is twice than breadth
∴ Length = 2x
To find the length and breadth, we will use the formula of Perimeter of rectangle
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
☛ 36 = 2(2x + x)
☛ 36 = 2(3x)
☛ 36 = 6x
Dividing both the sides by 6, we get
☛ x = 6
∴ Breadth = x cm
= 6cm
∴ Length = 2x cm
= 2 × 6
= 12cm
Answer:
Breadth=6cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of rectangle
=2(length + breadth) ------------(1)
we are given that:
l (length) = 2 × b (breadth)---------(2)
Now let 'b'= x
Then 'l'= 2x
putting theses values in eq (2)
we have, l=2x ------(3)
and b=x --------(4)
Putting values in The perimeter formula of rectangle.
Permimeter(p) = 2(l+b) by eq(1)
Now p is equal to 36 cm (given)
putting value in eq (1)
36=2(l+b) OR 2(2x+x) by eq (3) and (4)
36=2(3x)
36=6x
x=36/6
x=6cm
