7. Perimeter of a rectangle is 32 cm and length is 4 cm more than its
breadth.
(4
)
a) If breadth is x then what is length?
b) What is sum length and beadth?
c) Find length and breadth?
Answers
Answer:
perimeter of a rectangle=2(l+b)
2((x+4)+x)=32
2(2x+4)=32
4x+8=32
4x=24
x=6=breadth
a)length =x+4
b)l+b=10+6=16cm
c)length = 10cm
breadth = 6cm
Hello..
Here Is Your Answer:
GIVEN :
Perimeter of the rectangle = 32cm.
Breadth = x --------- ⓘ
Length = x + 4cm. --------------(from equation 1)
ⓐ If breadth is x then what is length?
From the question, we can know that length exceeds breadth by 4cm.
So, the equation could be like this
Length = x + 4cm
ⓑ What is sum of length and breadth?
x + x + 4 = 2x + 4
2x + 4 is the sum of length and breadth.
ⓒ Find length and breadth.
The formula for finding the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l+b).
2(l+b) = 2(x + 4 + x)
=> 2(2x +4)
32 = 4x + 8 -------(from the question)
32 - 8 = 4x
24 = 4x
x = 6
Therefore, x = Breadth = 6 cm
Length = x + 4 = 6 + 4
=> 10cm.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU..
