Correct Question:
The breadth of a rectangle is 4 cm less than its length. If the length is increased by 4 cm and breadth is decreased by 1 cm , the area of the rectangle is increased by 40 cm. Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle be x cm.
Given that,
★ The breadth of the rectangle is 4 cm less than its length.
Then,
- Breadth = (x-4) cm
Area of the rectangle,
= Length × Breadth
= x × (x-4) cm²
= x²-4x cm²
If the length is increased by 4 cm and the breadth is decreased by 1 cm, the area is increased by 40 cm.
Then,
- Length = (x+4) cm
- Breadth= (x-4-1) = (x-5) cm
Area of the new rectangle,
= (x+4)(x-5) cm²
= (x² -5x+4x-20) cm²
= (x² -x-20) cm²
According to the question,
x²-x-20 = x²-4x+40
→ -x-20=-4x +40
→ -x+4x = 40+20
→ 3x = 60
→ x = 20
★ Length of the rectangle = 20 cm
★ Breadth of the rectangle = (20-4) = 16 cm
Answer:
⭐Correct QUESTION
✏The breadth of a rectangle is 4 cm less than its length. If the length is increased by 4 cm and breadth is decreased by 1 cm , the area of the rectangle is increased by 40 cm. Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.
➡Let the length of the rectangle be x cm.
⭐Given that,
▶ The breadth of the rectangle is 4 cm less than its length.
✏Then,
⚫Breadth = (x-4) cm
▶Area of the rectangle,
=> Length × Breadth
=> x × (x-4) cm²
=> x²-4x cm²
✏If the length is increased by 4 cm and the breadth is decreased by 1 cm, the area is increased by 40 cm.
▶Then,
⚫Length = (x+4) cm
⚫Breadth= (x-4-1) = (x-5) cm
➡Area of the new rectangle,
=>(x+4)(x-5) cm²
=> (x² -5x+4x-20) cm²
=> (x² -x-20) cm²
➡According to the question,
=> -x-20=-4x +40
=> -x+4x = 40+20
=> 3x = 60
=> x = 20
✍ Length of the rectangle. = 20 cm
✍ Breadth of the rectangle = (20-4) = 16 cm
▶ Hence, the answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
