Question

the length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than its width and its area is 24 sq. cm them find length and breadth​

Answer 1

Answer:

length = 8cm

breadth = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be 'x'

Length = x + 2

Width = x

Area of a rectangle = L x B

= (x)(x + 2)

= x² + 2x = 24

= x² + 2x - 24 = 0 ------------- (i)

By solving equation (i)

(x-6)(x+4)

x = 6 ; x = -4

length cannot be in negative so,

x = 6

Now length = 6 +2 = 8cm

breadth = 6 cm
