38.The perimeter of a rectangle is 70 cm its length exceeds its breadth 5 cm. Find the area of the rectangle *
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the length..
Perimeter if rectangle = 2(l+b)
= 2(l+5)
70 = 2l + 10
2l = 70-10
2l =60
l = 60 ÷ 2
l = 30.
Now find the area..
Area of rectangle = l × b
= 30 ×10
= 300 sq.cm.
Let the breadth ,b = x cm
Therefore, the length ,l = (x+5) cm -----(i)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀According to the Question
Perimeter Rectangle = 2(l+b)
where,
l denote length
b denote breadth
Substitute the value we get
:\implies:⟹ 70 = 2(x + x+ 5)
:\implies:⟹ 70 = 2(2x +5)
:\implies:⟹ 70 = 4x + 10
:\implies:⟹ 70 -10 = 4x
:\implies:⟹ 60 = 4x
:\implies:⟹ 60/4 = x
:\implies:⟹ x = 60/4
:\implies:⟹ x = 15
breadth = 15 cm
Putting the value of x = 15 in equation (i) we get
:\implies:⟹ Length = 15 + 5
:\implies:⟹ Length = 20 cm
Now, we know that
Area of rectangle = l × b
substitute the value we get
:\implies:⟹ Area of Rectangle = 20×15
:\implies:⟹ Area of Rectangle = 300 cm²
Hence, the area of rectangle is 300 cm²
