Question

The length and width of a rectangle are two consecutive integers. The perimeter of the rectangle is 26. Find the length and width. plz and thanks. btw real answers plz

Answer 1

Given:

• Length and width of rectangle are consecutive integers
• Perimeter of rectangle = 26m

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Need to find:

• Length =?
• Width =?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Solution:

As the length and breadth are consecutive integers,

Let

• The width/ breadth of the rectangle be x
• The length of rectangle be( x+1)

Perimeter of rectangle = 2× (Length+ Breadth)

→ Perimeter = 2× (x + x+1)

→26m = 2 × (2x+1)

→2x+ 1 = 26m ÷2

→ 2x= 13-1 m

→ x = 12÷ 2 m

→ x = 6m.

• The breadth of rectangle is 6m

Put x= 6 and find x+ 1!

we get,

x+1 =7m

• The length of rectangle is 7m

Answer 2

Answer:

length = 6 and breadth = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be 'x' and breadth be 'x+1'.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length+breadth)

= 2(2x+1)

= 4x+2

According to question, perimeter = 26

So, 4x+2 = 26

4x = 24

x = 6

Therefore, length = 6 and breadth = 7
