The lengths of the sides are: 22.5cm , 27.5cm.
Given:
Perimeter of rectangle = 1m
One side is 5cm longer than the other.
To Find:
The lengths of the sides.
Solution:
P=1m
Let length be l and breadth be b.
=> l=b+5cm
WKT, P=2(l+b)
= 2(b+b+5)
100 =4b+10
4b=90
b=22.5cm
l=22.5+5=27.5cm
Hence, sides of the rectangle are of 22.5cm and 27.5cm length respectively.
