Answer:
Let the breadth of the rectangle be x m. Then,
length of the rectangle =(2x−8) m
Given, perimeter =56 m
⟹2(2x−8+x)=56
⟹2(3x−8)=56
⟹6x−16=56
⟹6x=56+16[Transposing−16toRHS]
⟹6x=72
⟹x=12
Therefore, breadth of the rectangle =12 m and length of the rectangle =2×12−8=16 m

Let the breadth be x
Length= 8-2x
Given perimeter = 56m
Perimeter= 2×(l+b)
56=2×(8-2x+x)
56=2×(8-1x)
56=16-2x
56-16= -2x
40= -2x
So the breadth is 20m
Length=8-2x
=8-2×20
=8-40
=32m
And the length is 32m
Hope it helps you.....
