Question

If the breadth of a rectangle is one-third of its
length and perimeter is 32 cm, find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the length be x cm

then breadth be 1/3x cm

perimeter = 2( l+ b)

32 = 2(x +1/3 x)

32 = 2*4/3 x

32/2=4/3x

16=4/3x

x =16*3/4

x = 12

length = 12 cm

breadth 4 cm
