Question

Length of a rectangle is 16 cm less than twice its breadth. If the perimeter of the
rectangle is 100 cm, find its length and breadth.
ind two consecutive positive integers whose sum is 63​

Answer 1

Given:-

Length of the rectangle is 16cm less than twice its breadth.

Perimeter of the rectangle=100cm

To find:-

Length and breadth of the rectangle.

Solution:-

Let the breadth of the rectangle be x

Thus,length=2x-16

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(l+b)

=>2(2x-16+x)=100

=>2(3x-16)=100

=>6x-32=100

=>6x=100+32

=>6x=132

=>x=132/6

=>x=22

Thus,breadth of the rectangle is 22cm.

And,length=2(22)-16=28cm.
