Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 1/2 times its breadth. If its perimeter is 70 m, find
the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the rectangle is 25 m and breadth is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth be 'B'

Then length = 2.5 B

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

70 = 2(2.5 B + B)

70 = 2 (3.5 B)

7 B = 70

B = 70 / 7

B = 10 m

L = 2.5 * 10 = 25 m

So, the length of the rectangle is 25 m and breadth is 10 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bradth-x

Length-5/2x

Perimeter=2(l+b)

2(5/2x+x)

After taking lcm

2(7x/2)=70

X=10=breadth

Length=5/2(10)=25
