Question

length of the rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width. If the perimeter measure 50 cm. Find the length of each side

Answer 1

The length of the rectangle is 15, and the width is 10.  There really isn't much to it except guessing and checking. Hope this helps you!

Answer 2

Let the width of rectangle be x
Then length of rectangle be (x+5)
Perimeter of rectangle =2(length + breadth)
50 = 2(x + x+5)
25 = 2x + 5
20 = 2x
x = 10
Length = 15cm
Breadth = 10cm.
