The length of a rectangle is 20 cm more than it's breadth . if the perimeter is 100cm , find the dimension of the rectangle.
Given :
Perimeter of the rectangle = 100 cm.
Length = breadth + 20 cm
To find :
Dimensions of the rectangle
ie,
Length and breadth.
Solution :
It is already given that,
Perimeter = 100 cm.
Let breadth of the rectangle will be x cm.
Then ,
Length = (x + 20) cm.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( l + b)
ie,
100 cm = 2 ( x + 20 + x ) cm
100 cm = 2 ( 2x + 20) cm
= 4x + 40 cm
100 cm = 4x + 40 cm
ie,
100 - 40 = 4x
60 = 4x
x = 60/4
x = 15 cm
Here,
x = breadth of the rectangle.
That is,
Breadth = 15 cm
Lenght = 15 + 20 = 35 cm
Dimensions of the rectangle
Length = 35 cm
Breadth = 15 cm
Checking :
Perimeter = 100 cm
ie,
2 ( l + b ) = 100 cm
On sustituting the values,
⇒ 2( 35 + 15) = 100 cm
⇒ 2 ( 50 ) cm = 100 cm
⇒ 100 cm = 100 cm
LHS = RHS
Hence verified !!
