Question

Perimeter of a rectangle is 24 meters. If length of a rectangle is 2 meters more

than its breadth, then find the breadth of a rectangle.​

Answer 1

Given

• Perimeter of a rectangle is 24 meters
• length of a rectangle is 2 meters more than its breadth.

Explanation

Let the Breadth be x and then length be (x + 2) and after applying that method we can find the exact value of Breadth as :-

We Know that:-

$\maltese {\pmb{\boxed{\sf{ Perimeter_{(Rectangle)} = 2(l+b) }}}} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ 24 = 2(x+2+x) }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ 24 = 2(2x+2) }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ 24 = 4x+4 }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ 24 - 4 = 4x }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ \cancel{20} = \cancel{4} x }} \\ \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ x = 5 }}$

Hence,

${\underline{\sf{ The \ Breadth \ of \ the \ Rectangle \ is \ 5 \ metres. }}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let length be 2x and breadth be x:

Perimeter= 24m

Length= 2x

Breadth= x

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(L+B)

24 = 2(2x+x)

24 = 2(3x)

24 = 6x

x = 24/6

x = 4

Length=2x= 2*4= 8m

Breadth=x= 1*4= 4m
