Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 m more than its width and the perimeter of the rectangle is 32 m

(use x too)
(use working please thank you)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Breadth = 5.5 m and length = 10.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering it is asked to find length and breadth,

Let the breadth (width) of the rectangle be x m

So length l = (x + 5) m

Perimeter of a rectangle = 32 = 2(l + b)

2(x + 5 + x) = 32

2( 2x + 5) = 32

4x + 10 = 32

4x = 22

x = 22/4

= 11/2

= 5.5 m

Breadth = 5.5 m

and length l = (5.5 + 5) m

= 10.5 m
