QUESTION:-
The length of a rectangle is 5cm more than its breadth . if perimeter the rectangle is 38cm, find its area
SOLUTION:-
Let the breadth of the rectangle be x cm
Then , the length = (x+5)cm
Given : perimeter = 38cm
2(length + breadth) = 38cm
2(x+5+x) = 38
4x + 10 = 38
4x = 38 - 10 = 28
Thus , the breadth = 7cm and length = (7 + 5)cm = 12cm
Area of rectangle = length × breadth = 12cm × 7cm = 84cm²
HENCE THE AREA OF THE RECTANGLE IS 84cm²
