Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 cm more than its breadth and the perimeter exceeds the length by
17 cm. Then determine the length and breadth of the given rectangle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let breadth=x

So, lenght=x+5

Perimeter=2(l+b)=(x+5)+17

                 2(x+5+x)=x+22

                 4x+10=x+22

                  3x=12

                  x=4

So, breadth=4cm and lenght=x+5=9cm

Answer 2

Answer:

7/4 + 5; 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

length =  breadth + 5

perimeter = 2 x ( length + breadth)

          17   = 2 x (breadth + 5 +breadth)

          17   = 2 x (2 x breadth + 5)

          17  = 4 x breadth + 10

    17 - 10 = 4 x breadth

        7/4 = breadth

then length = 7/4 + 5
