Question

9.The length of a rectangular plot exceeds its breadth by 5 m. If the perimeter of the plot is 142 m, find the
dimensions of the plot​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth be x and lenth be x+5.

Perimeter=142m

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(l+b)

142=2(x+5+x)

142=4x+10

4x=132

x=33

Therefore the length= 38m

Breadth= 33m
