Question

The length of a rectangle is 3cm more than its breadth and its perimeter is 50cm.
a) what is the sum of its length and breadth?
b) Find the length and breadth of the rectangle​

Answer 1

Answer: Let the breadth be x.

Length=3+x

Perimeter=50cm

2*(l+b)=50

2*(x+3+x)=50

2*(3+2x)=50

6+4x=50

4x=44

x=11

Length=3+11=14cm

Breadth=11cm

Sum=14+11=25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Let the breadth be = x
2. Then the length = x+3
3. Perimeter of rectangle is 50 cm
4. Formula to find perimeter = 2( l + b )
5. Therefore, 2 ( l + b ) =50 cm

2 ( x+3 + x ) =50

2 (2x +3 ) =50

4x + 6 = 50

. 4x = 50 - 6

4x = 44

x = 44 ÷ 4

x = 11

6. Breadth = x = 11 cm

7. Length = x + 3 = 11 + 3 = 14 cm

8. Sum of length and breadth is 11 + 14 = 25
