Question

a rectangle is made by a metalic rod of length 10 m .the length of the rectangle is 1m more than its breadth .find its length and breadth?
​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Given:

A rectangle is made from a metallic rod.

That means,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 10 m.

And,

The length of the rectangle is 1 m more than the breadth.

Let the breadth of the rectangle be x m.

So,

It's length = (x + 1) m

We know,

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)

Hence,

→ 10 = 2 (x + x + 1)

→ 10 = 2 (2x + 1)

→ 10 = 4x + 2

→ 10 - 2 = 4x

→ 8 = 4x

→ 8/4 = x

→ 2 = x

Hence,

• Breadth of the rectangle = x = 2 m

• Length of the rectangle = x + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 m.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 3 m and 2 m.
