the area of the rectangle with length 21 square meter and breadth 31 square meter is
Answers
The length and breadth of the rectangle are 7m and 3m respectively.
We know that for a rectangle of length 'l' and breadth 'b', its area is given as lb
Similarly, its perimeter is given as 2(l+b)
Given, the area of the rectangle is 21 m²
So, lb = 21
⇒l = 21/b ...(1)
And, permineter = 20m
So, 2(l+b) = 20
⇒(l+b) = 10 ...(2)
Putting l = 21/b from (1) in (2),we get:
21/b + b = 10
Mutiplying with 'b' on both sides, we get:
21 + b² = 10b
⇒ b² - 10b + 21 = 0
⇒ b² - 7b - 3b + 21 = 0
⇒ b(b-7) - 3(b-7) = 0
⇒ (b-7)(b-3) = 0
By zero product rule,
When b = 7m
l = 10 - b = 3 m
This is absurd because, we know that length of a rectangle cannot be less than its breadth.
So, breadth = 3m
and, length = 10 - 3 = 7m
Step-by-step explanation:
