Question

the length of a rectangle is 8 cm more than its breadth if the area of the rectangle is 153 cm square find the length and breadth

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle =153 = 2(l+b)

let the breadth be = b

let the lenght be = 8+b

according to the question

2(8+b+b) = 153

2(8+2b) =153

8+2b = 153 x 2

8+2b = 306

2b = 306-8

2b = 298

b= $\frac{298}{2}$

b= 149

therefore

breadth= 149cm

length= 149 + 8  =157cm
