a length of rrctangle is greater than twice its breadth by 4cm. lf the perimeter of the rectangle is 26 cm, find the length and breadth
Answers
Answer:
The length of the rectangle (l) = 10 cm
The breadth of the rectangle (b) = 3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
The breadth of the rectangle (b) = x
The length of the rectangle (l) = 2x + 4
The perimeter of the rectangle = 26 cm
★ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)
⇒ 2 (l + b) = 26
⇒ 2 (2x + 4 + x) = 26
⇒ 2 ( 3x + 4) = 26
⇒ 6x + 8 = 26
⇒ 6x = 26 - 8
⇒ 6x = 18
⇒ x = 18 / 6
⇒ x = 3
The breadth of the rectangle (b) = 3 cm
The length of the rectangle (l) = 2x + 4
⇒ 2x + 4
⇒ 2 (3) + 4
⇒ 6 + 4
⇒ 10
The length of the rectangle (l) = 10 cm
Therefore,
The length of the rectangle (l) = 10 cm
The breadth of the rectangle (b) = 3 cm
AnswEr :-
• Length of the rectangle = 10cm
• Breadth of the rectangle = 3cm
Given :-
• Length of a rectangle is greater than twice its breadth by 4cm.
• Perimeter of the rectangle is 26cm.
To Find :-
• Length and Breadth of the rectangle.
Solution :-
• Let breadth of the rectangle be x
• Length of the rectangle = 2x + 4
• Perimeter of the rectangle = 26cm
Again,
★ Perimeter of a rectangle = 2( l + b )
➪ 2 (x + 2x + 4) = 26
➪ 2 (3x + 4) = 26
➪ 3x + 4 = 26/2
➪ 3x + 4 = 13
➪ 3x = 13 - 4
➪ 3x = 9
➪ x = 9/3
➪ x =3
☆ Breadth of the rectangle = 3cm
☆ Length of the rectangle = 2×3 + 4 = 10cm
