Question

A rectangle with perimeter 264 cm is divided into 5 congruent rectangles . Find the perimeter of one of the rectangle.

Answer 1

264/5=52.8
So, the perimeter of each rectangle is 52.8

Answer 2

Answer:

We also know that ,

l + l + w + l + w + w + w + l + w = 264,

which simplifies to 4 l + 5w = 264.

Substitute w into the first equation to find l = 27. So the perimeter of each of the smaller rectangles is......

18 + 27 + 18 + 27 = 90 cm
