Answer:
length = 12.5cm ; breadth = 7.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the breadth of the rectangle be 'x'.
∴ Length = 5 cm more than breadth
= 5 cm more than x
= x + 5
Given, perimeter of the rectangle is 40 cm
⇒ perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
⇒ 40 = 2(x+5 + x)
⇒ 40 = 2(2x + 5)
⇒ 40 = 4x + 10
⇒ 40 - 10 = 4x
⇒ 30 = 4x
⇒ 30/4 = x
⇒ 7.5 = x
Length of the rectangle is x + 5 = 7.5 + 5 = 12.5 cm
Breadth = x = 7.5 cm
