Question

the length of a rectangle is 16 centimetre more than the breadth if the perimeter of rectangle is 96 centimetre find the length and breadth also verify your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

  let the common multiple be x

therefore,breadth=x

and length=x+16

perimeter is 96

now equate them,

2(x+x+16)=96

2*2x+16=96

4x+32=96

4x=96-32

x=64/4

x=16

therefore,

                length=x+16

                           =16+16

                           =32cm

                breadth=x

                             =16cm

Answer 2

perimeter = 4x + 32

96 = 4x+32

x = 96-32/4

= 16

length = 16+16=32

breadth = 16
