Question

the breadth of the rectangle is 5 less than its length if the perimeter is 36 cm find its length and breadth​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 11.5 cm Breadth = 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be x cm

Breadth will be x-5

P of rectangle = 2(L+B)

36 = 2(X+x-5)

36 = 2(2x-5)

36 = 4x-10

36+10 = 4x

46 = 4x

x = 46/4

x = 11.5

So length of rectangle is 11.5 cm and breadth is 11.5-5 = 6.5 cm
