Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 cm more than its breadth. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 40cm. Find the length and breadth of the rectangle. ​

Answer 1

Answer: Length and breadth of rectangle. ❥ Length of rectangle( x + 5) = 12.5cm.

Answer 2

• Length is 5cm more than it's breadth

• Perimeter of rectangle = 40cm

${ \huge{ \underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \green{To \: find :}}}}}}$

• What's the value of length and breadth of rectangle?

Formula to be used :-

• Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( Length + Breadth)

${ \huge{ \underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \green{SoluTion : }}}}}}$

Let breadth of rectangle be x cm.

Given that,

Length is 5cm more than it's breadth.

Therefore,

Length of rectangle will be = x + 5 cm

According to the question :-

Perimeter of rectangle = 40cm

Hence,

⟶ 2(x + x + 5) = 40

⟶ 2(2x + 5) = 40

⟶ 2x + 5 = 40/2

⟶ 2x + 5 = 20

⟶ 2x = 20 - 5

⟶ 2x = 15

⟶ x = 7.5

Therefore,

breadth of rectangle is = 7.5cm

Length of rectangle is = ( x + 5) = 12.5cm.

★ Extra Information :-

•Area of rectangle = l × b

• Diagonal of rectangle = √l² + b²

• Length of rectangle = Area/Breadth

• Breadth of rectangle = Area/Length

•Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
