__________________________

Given :-

• Length and breadth of a rectangle are consecutive even numbers.

• Perimeter is 52 cm

To Find :-

• The shorter side.

Formula used :-

Perimeter = 2 ( length + breadth )

__________________________

breadth of the rectangle = x

Let length of rectangle = x + 2

According to question

2( x + x + 2 ) = 52

= = > 2 ( 2x + 2 ) = 52

= = > 2x + 2 = 26

= = > 2x = 26 - 2

= = > 2x = 24

= = > x = 24/2

= = > x = 12

= = > 2 + x = 2 + 12 = 14

Length = 14 cm

breadth = 12 cm

Hence shorter side = 12 cm
