Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of the rectangle given = 240 cm
Let x cm be the length of the rectangle,
Let y cm be the length of the rectangle,
According to the question :
2(x+y)= 240
= x+y=120 (first equation)
Now,it's length is increased by 10% and it's breadth is decreased by 20%
So, the new length be = x+10/100x
=100x+10x / 100
= 110x / 100
= 11x / 10
And the new breadth be = y-20/100y
= 100y-20y / 100
= 80y / 100
= 8y / 10
with new length and breadth we get same perimeter.
So,
= 2(11/10x+8/10y)=240
= 11/10x + 8y = 1200 (second equation)
Now second equation-8x (first equation), we get
3x=240
= x = 80
Putting this value isn first equation,
y = 120 - 80 = 40
So, length = x = 80 cm
and breadth = y = 40 cm.
