Answer:
Length is 8cm and breadth is 6cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
- Let breadth = x cm
- length = (x+2)cm
Because length is 2 cm more than a breadth.
- Perimeter = 28 cm.
To find:
- the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Formula to know:
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length+breathe)
Solution:
2(l+b) = 28
=> 2(x+x+2) = 28
=> 2(2x+2) = 28
=> 2x+2 =$\mathrm{\frac{28}{2}}$
=> 2x+2 = 14
=> 2x = 14-2
=> 2x=12
=> x = 12/2
=> x = 6cm.
Now,
Length = x+2 => 6+2 = 8cm.
Breathe = x => 6cm. Ans.
