the length of a rectangle is 4 cm more than the breadth . if the perimeter of rectangle is 80cm find the area of the rectangle
I'm going off bro bye...

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the breadth of the rectangle be x cm.
Then it's length = x+4 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle= 2(l+b)
= 2(x+4+x) = 2(2x+4) = 4x + 8 cm
But perimeter of the rectangle = 40 cm
So. 4x + 8 = 40 => 4x = 40 - 8 => 4x = 32
=> x = 32/4 => x = 8
So breadth = 8 cm
Length of the rectangle = x+4 = 8+4=12 cm
The area of the rectangle = 396 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
Let,
The breadth of a rectangle = x
The length of a rectangle = x + 4
The perimeter of rectangle = 80 cm (Given)
The perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length +
breadth)
➡ 2 [(x + 4) + x] = 80
→ 2x+8+2x = 80
➡ 4x+8 = 80
→ 4x = 80 - 8
➡ 4x = 72
⇒ x = 72/4
→ x = 18
The breadth of a rectangle = 18 cm
The length of a rectangle = x + 4
→ 18 +4
→ 22
The length of a rectangle = 22 cm
The area of the rectangle = length x breadth
→ 22x 18
→ 396
The area of the rectangle = 396 cm²
Therefore, The area of the rectangle = 396 cm²
