Question

The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the
ratio 8: 5. The length is 10.5 centimetres more
than the breadth. What are the length and breadth
of the rectangle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

l = 28 cm

b = 17.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

l:b = 8:5

l = 10.5 + b

now,

5(10.5 + b) = 8b

52.5 + 5b = 8b

3b = 52.5

b = 17.5 cm

therefore,

l = 10.5 + b

l = 10.5 + 17.5

l = 28 cm
