Question

If a rectangle’s length is reduced by 1 cm and its breadth is increased by 2 cm, the rectangle becomes a square. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 34 cm, find the area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width, multiply the length that you have been given by 2, and subtract the result from the perimeter. You now have the total length for the remaining 2 sides. This number divided by 2 is the width.
