Question

23 The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 2 : 3 and it perimeter is 50 cm. Find its sides.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sides are

2x = ( 2×5) = 10 cm

3x = (3×5) = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L+B)

Let the sides of rectangle be 2x and 3x respectively. One is length other is Breadth or width.

BTP - The perimeter is given and it's 50cm.

So we can form the equation

2( 2x + 3x ) = 50

2 × 5x = 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5
