Question

A rectangle has a length that is 3cm greater than its width. Its perimeter is 26cm.

Calculate the length and width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let breadth be x cm.

Length = x+3 cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 26 cm

2(l+b)=26

x+3+x=13

2x=10

x=5

Therefore,

Breadth = 5 cm

Length = 8 cm

hope it helps you pls follow

Answer 2

let b = x

l = x + 3

p = 2(l + b) = 26

26 = 2(x + x + 3)

26 = (2x + 3)

2x + 3 = 26

2x = 23

x = 11.5

b = 11.5

l = 14.5
