8) The length of a rectangle is 10 m more than its breadth. If the perimeter of rectangle is 80 m. find the
dimensions of the rectangle.
pls answer quickly.
Answers
Length = 25 m
Breadth = 15 m
Let breadth of rectangle be x .
Then,
Breadth = x .........(1)
length = x + 10 .........(2)
____________________________
A.T.Q,
__________________[Put values]
⇒ 80 = 2(x + x + 10)
⇒80 = 2(2x + 10)
⇒80/2 = 2x + 10
⇒ 40 - 10 = 2x
⇒ 30 = 2x
⇒x = 30/2
⇒ x = 15
Breadth (X) = 15 m
Substitute value in (1)
⇒ length = x + 10
⇒length = 15 + 10
⇒ length = 25
Lengtht = 25 m
__________________________
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
80 = 2(15 + 25)
80 = 2(40)
80 = 80
Hence Proved
Answer :-
25 m and 15 m are the dimensions of the rectangle.
Solution :-
Let the breadth of a rectangle be 'x' m
Length of the rectangle = 10 m more than its breadth = (x + 10) m
Given
Perimeter of the rectangle = 80 m
⇒ 2(Length + Breadth) = 80 m
⇒ 2(x + 10 + x) = 80
⇒ 2(2x + 10) = 80
⇒ 2x + 10 = 80/2
⇒ 2x + 10 = 40
⇒ 2x = 40 - 10
⇒ 2x = 30
⇒ x = 30/2
⇒ x = 15
Breadth of the rectangle = x = 15 m
Length of the rectangle = (x + 10) = (15 + 10) = 25 m
Therefore 25 m and 15 m are the dimensions of the rectangle.
