Answer:
Length= 16cm
Breadth= 9cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Breadth be x
Then,
length is x+7
We know that,
l*b= area of rectangle
So,
x*x+7= x^2+7x
Now,
New length is x+7-4= x+3
New breadth is x+3
Therefore, area will be (x+3)^2
So,
Area will be x^2+6x+9
But it is given that new area= old area
So,
x^2+6x+9 = x^2+7x
Now,
9 = x^2-x^2+7x-6x
9 = x
x = breadth = 9
x+7 = length = 9+7 = 16
Therefore,
the length is 16 and breadth is 9.
