The length of a rectangle is 4cm more than its breadth if the perimeter is 84 cm
Answers
Answer:
length=23 cm
breadth=19 cm
Step-by-Step:
Let breadth be x and length be 4+x
Perimeter of rectangle=2(l+b)
84=2(x+4+x)
84/2=(x+4+x)
42=2x+4
2x=42-4
2x=38
x=38/2
x=19
So if x means breadth is 19, so length 4+x will be 19+4=23
Therefore, Length=23
Breadth=19
Length = 23 cm & Breadth = 19 cm
Given :
- Length of rectangle is 4 cm more than its breadth
- Perimeter = 84cm
To find :
Length and breadth [ Correction in the question ]
Solution :
Step 1 of 3 :
Assume length and breadth of the rectangle
Let breadth is x cm
Then length is x + 4 cm
Step 2 of 3 :
Find perimeter in terms of x
Perimeter
= 2 ( length + breadth )
= 2 ( x + 4 + x ) cm
= 2( 2x + 4 ) cm
= 4x + 8 cm
Step 3 of 3 :
Find length and breadth of the rectangle
By the given condition
4x + 8 = 84
⇒ 4x = 84 - 8
⇒ 4x = 76
⇒ x = 19
Breadth
= x cm
= 19 cm
Length
= x + 4 cm
= 23 cm
