Question

The length of a rectangle is 8 m more than its breadth. If the perimeter of rectangle is 96 m, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

let the breadth of the rectangle be X
then, length will be X+8
perimeter=2(l+b)
96=2(x+8+x)
96=2(2x+8)
96=4x+16
96-16=4x
80=4x
80/4=x
x=20
breadth=20m
length=28m

Answer 2

perimeter=2(l+b)
96=2(x+8+x)
96=2(2x+8)
96=4x+16
96-16=4x
80=4x
80/4=x
x=20
breadth=20m
length=28m
