hahalf the perimeter of the of a rectangular room is 46 metre and its length is 6 more than its blood to what is the length and breadth of the room
Answers
Correct Question
Half the perimeter of rectangular room is 46 metre and its length is 6 more than its breadth what is the length and breadth of the room.
- Half the perimeter of rectangular room is 46 m
- Length is 6 more than its breadth
- Length and breadth of the room
- Let the length be "x"
- Let the breadth be "y"
➠ x = y + 6 ---------- (1)
➠ 2(Length + Breadth) ------ (2)
- Length = x = y + 6
- Breadth = y
2(Length + Breadth)
➠ 2(x + y)
➠ 2(y + 6 + y)
Given that half the perimeter is 46
So,
➜
➜ 46 = y + 6 + y
➜ 46 - 6 = y + y
➜ 40 = 2y
➨ y = 20 ------- (3)
- Hence breadth of rectangular room is 20 m
➠ x = y + 6
➜ x = 20 + 6
➨ x = 26
- Hence length of rectangular room is 26 m
∴ The length and breadth of rectangular room is 26 m & 20 m respectively.
Additional information
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
Properties of rectangle
- The opposite sides are parallel and equal to each other
- Each interior angle is equal to 90°
- The sum of all the interior angles is equal to 360°
- The diagonals bisect each other
- Both the diagonals have the same length
- Half the perimeter of rectangular room is 46 m
- Length is 6 more than its breadth
- Length and breadth of the room
Let the length be "x"
Let the breadth be "y"
➠ x = y + 6 ---------- (1)
➠ 2(Length + Breadth) ------ (2)
Length = x = y + 6
Breadth = y
2(Length + Breadth)
➠ 2(x + y)
➠ 2(y + 6 + y)
- Given that half the perimeter is 46
So,
➜
➜ 46 = y + 6 + y
➜ 46 - 6 = y + y
➜ 40 = 2y
➨ y = 20 ------- (3)
- Hence breadth of rectangular room is 20 m
➠ x = y + 6
➜ x = 20 + 6
➨ x = 26
- Hence length of rectangular room is 26 m
- ∴ The length and breadth of rectangular room is 26 m & 20 m respectively.
