Question

) In a rectangle of perimeter one metre, one side is five centimetres longer than the other. What are the lengths of the sides? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 cm = 0.05 meter

let one side be y

other side be y+5

2(y+y+0.05) =1

2(2y+0.05) = 1

4y+0.1=1

4y = 1-0.1

4y = 0.9

y = 0.9÷4

y = 0.225

other side is

y+0.05

which is 0.275

ao sides are 0.225 and 0.275
