Question

The length of a rectangle is 1 cm greater than the breadth. a) If breadth is taken as x, find length?
b) If the perimeter is 50 cm, find length and breadth?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) length = x+1

b) length = 13

breadth = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take breadth as x. length = x+1

Perimeter = 50

2(x+x+1) = 50

2(2x+1) = 50

4x+2 = 50

4x = 48

x = 12

x+1 = 13
