GIVEN :-
- Length of a rectangle is 6 m more than the breadth.
- Perimeter of rectangle = 120 m.
TO FIND :-
- The dimensions of the rectangle.
SOLUTION :-
Let the breath of the rectangle be "x". So the length of the rectangle be "(x + 6)m".
As we know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by,
➠ Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)
➠ 120 m = 2(x + 6 + x)
➠ 120 = 2(2x + 6)
➠ 120 = 4x + 12
➠ 4x = 120 - 12
➠ 4x = 108
➠ x = 108/4
➠ x = 27
Now, The dimensions of the rectangle are :-
➸ Length = (x + 6)m
➸ Length = 27 + 6 m
➸ Length = 33 m.
Similarly,
➸ Breadth = x m
➸ Breadth = 27 m.
Hence the dimensions of the rectangle are 33 × 27 m.
