Answer:

40 x 16 ( in the format l X b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'b' be the breadth and 'l' be the length of the rectangle.

b=l/2 - 4

perimeter,p = 2(l+b)

i.e p = (l + l/2 - 4)*2

p = 3l - 8 = 112

i.e 3l = 120

Therefore, l = 40cm and b = 16cm..

The length of rectangle = 40 cm and

The breadth of rectangle = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The perimeter of rectangle = 112 cm

Let the length of rectangle = x and

The breadth of rectangle = \dfrac{1}{2} x-4

To find, the length and breadth of rectangle = ?

We know that,

The perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

∴ 2(x + \dfrac{1}{2} x-4) = 112

⇒ x + \dfrac{1}{2} x-4 = \dfrac{112}{2} =56

\dfrac{2x+x}{2} =56+4=60

\dfrac{3x}{2}=60

⇒ 3x = 60 × 2 = 120

⇒ x = \dfrac{120}{3} =40

The length of rectangle = 40 cm and

The breadth of rectangle = \dfrac{1}{2}(40)-4 = 16 cm
