Answers
Answer:
Answer :
The length of the rectangle = 25 cm
The breadth of the rectangle = 13 cm
Step-by-step explanation :
Given :
- Area of a rectangle is 325 cm²
- The perimeter of rectangle is 76 cm.
To find :
the dimensions of the rectangle
Solution :
Let L cm be the length of the rectangle and B cm be the breadth of the rectangle.
First, let's get the relation between length and breadth of the rectangle.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
➙ Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (L + B)
➙ 76 cm = 2(L + B)
➙ L + B = 76/2
➙ L + B = 38 cm
➙ L = (38 - B) cm
Now, substitute the value of length in area of rectangle formula. Then we'll get a quadratic equation. By solving the equation, we get the dimensions of the rectangle.
Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
➙ Area of the rectangle = L × B
➙ 325 cm² = (38 - B) (B)
➙ 325 = 38B - B²
➙ B² - 38B + 325 = 0
We'll solve this equation by factorization.
➙ B² - 25B - 13B + 325 = 0
➙ B(B - 25) - 13(B - 25) = 0
➙ (B - 25) (B - 13) = 0
➛ B - 25 = 0 ; B = 25
➛ B - 13 = 0 ; B = 13
So, the breadth of the rectangle is either 25 cm or 13 cm
Let B = 13 cm
L + B = 38
L + 13 = 38
L = 38 - 13
L = 25 cm
Therefore,
The length of the rectangle = 25 cm
The breadth of the rectangle = 13 cm
