The length of a rectangle is 12 cm more than it’s breadth. the
perimeter is 144 cm, find its length and breadth. please who will answer first will be brainlist so please
Answers
Answer:
Let the length of the rectangle = l
Let the breadth of the rectangle = b.
Given that the length of the rectangle is 12cm more than its breadth.
l = b + 12 ------------- (1)
We know that perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b).
Given that perimeter of the rectangle = 144cm.
2(l + b) = 144
2(b + 12 + b) = 144
2(2b + 12) = 144
2b + 12 = 72
2b = 60
b = 30.
Breadth b = 30cm.
Length = b + 12
= 42cm.
verification:
2(l + b) = 144
2(30 + 42) = 144
2(72) = 144
144 = 144
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
let breadth is x
then length is x+12
formula of perimeter is 2*(Length + breadth )
then 2*(x + x+12 ) = 144
2x+12 = 72
2x = 72-12
2x = 60
x = 60 ÷ 2
x= 30
so , breadth is 30
length is x+12
then , 30+12
= 42
length =42
breadth = 30
