Question

The length and width of a rectangle is in ratio 3:5if it is perimeter is 48 cm find its length ​and breadth

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of length and width of a rectangle is 3:5

Let the length be 3×x = 3x

And breadth = 5×x = 5x

Perimeter is 48 m

By condition,

2(L+B) = 48

2(3x+5x) = 48

6x + 10x = 48

16x = 48

x = 48/16

x= 3

Length =( 3×3) m = 9 metres

Breadth = (5×3) m = 15 metres
