Given :
- The length of rectangle is 3 times
of its breadth
- The perimeter is 84 metre
To find :
- The length of the rectangle
Let's solve,
Let the breadth of rectangle is x
then length will be 3x
⇒Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)
⇒84 = 2 (3x + x)
⇒84 = 2 (4x)
⇒84 = 8x
⇒x = 84/8
∴ x = 10.5 m
So,
Length = 3x
= 3 × 10.5 m
= 31.5 m
Breadth = x = 10.5
