a length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than its width and its perimeter is 14cm,then the area of rectangle is
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
the length of an rectangle =2cm
the width is 2cm more=2x
the perimeter of triangle=14cm
the area of an rectangle =L×B
=2×2X
=4X
X=4
THEREFORE X = 4

Given :-
- A length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than its width
- Perimeter is 14cm
To find :-
- Area of the rectangle.
Solution :-
Let the width of the rectangle be x cm
As per the first condition :-
- Length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than its width
Length = x + 2 cm
We know that the perimeter of the rectangle is calculated using the formula :-
Plug in the values in the above formula,
14 = 2 ( x + 2 + x)
14 = 2x + 4 + 2x
14 = 2x + 2x + 4
14 = 4x + 4
14 - 4 = 4x
10 = 4x
= x
2.5 = x
Value of x = width = 2.5 cm
Length = x + 2 = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 cm
We now have the length and width of the rectangle and we can easily calculate the area of the rectangle using the formula.
Plug in the values,
Area = 4.5 × 2.5
Area = 11.25
•°• Area of the rectangle = 11.25 sq.cm
