Question

A house has a rectangle yards infrond of it for children to play. the length of that rectangle exceeds its width by 6cm and its perimeter is 6cm Find the measurements of the yard
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Please confirm if perimeter is 60 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am solving with 60 cm as perimeter.

Perimeter of rectangle is the sum of all its sides. Let the length be l and breadth(width) be b.

Perimeter = 2(l+b)

Now we are given in the question that length is 6cm more than width.

Therefore, l = b + 6

Now using this value of l in perimeter's formula, we get

60 = 2(b+6 + b)

60 = 2(2b +6)

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

30 = 2b + 6

Solving for b, we get,

2b = 24; b = 12 cm

Now l = b+6 = 12 + 6 = 18 cm.

Therefore l = 18 cm and b = 12 cm.
