Question

In a rectangle of perimeter one metre,one side is five centimetres longer than the another what are the lengths of the sides

Answer 1

Answer:

let one side be x

then other side=x+5

perimeter= 2(x + x+5) = 100

2x + 5 = 50

2x = 45

x= 45/2 = 22.5 is one side

Other side = 5 + 22.5 = 27.5
