Question

The length of a rectangle is 5m greater than its breadth, and its perimeter is 250m. Find the length snd breadth of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 65cm and breadth = 60cm

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length is 5m greater than the breadth.

So, l = b+5

and perimeter = 250cm.

2( l+b) = 250

2 (b+5 + b) = 250                    [Substitute the value of l here]

2( 2b+5) = 250

2b+5 = 250/2 = 125

2b = 125 -5 = 120

b = 120/2 = 60
