SOLUTION :-

Let,

Length = x

Breadth = y

Given,

Area of the rectangle = 84 m²

So,

\longrightarrow\sf xy = 84

According to the question,

\longrightarrow\sf (x-1)(y+1)=xy+4 \\\\\longrightarrow xy+x-y-1=4 \\\\\longrightarrow x-y= 5  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \  ........................(1)

We know that,

   \bf (x+y)^2=(x-y)^2+4xy

\longrightarrow\sf (x+y)^2=(x-y)^2+4\times xy\\\\\longrightarrow (x+y)^2=(5)^2+4\times 84 \\\\\longrightarrow (x+y)^2 = 25+336 \\\\\longrightarrow (x+y)^2=361 \\\\\longrightarrow x+y=\sqrt{361} \\\\\longrightarrow x+y = 19  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \  .......................(2)

Equation (2) + Equation (1),

\longrightarrow\sf 2x=24\\\\\longrightarrow \bf x = 12

Substitute x = 12 in equation (1),

\longrightarrow\sf 12+y = 19 \\\\\longrightarrow\bf  y = 7

Length of the rectangle = 12 m

Breadth of the rectangle = 7 m
