Answer 1

there is no fig so that I could help you

Answer 2

Solution :-

Please refer to the attachment for the diagram. I had solved a same question a few days back. TI think this question is from this year's 10th class Board Exams.


As we know that opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.

Length of the given rectangle = 30 cm = (x + y) cm = AB = CD

Breadth of the given rectangle = 14 cm = (x - y) = BC = AD

⇒ (x + y) + (x - y) = 30 + 14

⇒ + y and - y are cancelled.

⇒ 2x = 44

⇒ x = 44/2

⇒ x = 22 

Substituting the value of x = 22

x + y = 30

⇒ 22 + y = 30

⇒ y = 30 - 22

⇒ y = 8 

So, value of x is 22 and y is 8.
