Question

an
The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 80 square units, if its
length is reduced by 5 units and the breadth is increased by
2 units. If we increase the length by 10 units and decrease the
breadth by 5 units, the area is increased by 50 square units.
Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and Breadth of rectangle be l and b.

Area of rectangle = lb

(l - 5) (b + 2) = lb - 80

i.e., 2l – 5b + 70 = 0______ ( 1 )

(l + 10) (b - 5) - lb = 50

5l + 10b = 100  

Divide both side by 5

l + 2b = 20

l – 2b +20 = 0________ ( 2 )

Multiplying ( 2 ) by 2 , we get  

2l – 4b = -40______ ( 3 )

Subtracting ( 3 ) from ( 1 ), we get  

-b = -30  

b = 30

2l -5(30) = -70

2l = -70 + 150

l = 40

Length = 40 units and Breadth = 30 units .
