. The length of a rectangle is greater than the breadth by 3 cm. If the length is
increased by 9 cm and the breadth is reduced by 5 cm, the area remains the same
Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Answers
Given :-
Length of rectangle is greater than breadth by 3 cm.
Area remains same , after increasing & decreasing length and breadth by 9 and 5 cm.
To Find :-
Dimensions
Solution :-
Let the breadth be x and length be x + 3
As we know that
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = x × x + 3
Area = x² + 3
Now,
New length = x + 12 cm
New breadth decreased by 5 = x - 5
(x + 12) (x - 5) = x² + 3x
x(x - 5) + 12(x - 5) = x² + 3x
x² - 5x + 12x - 60 = x² + 3x
-5x + 12x - 60 = 3x
7x - 60 = 3x
7x - 3x = 60
4x = 60
x = 60/4
x = 15 cm
Now,
Breadth = 15 cm
Length = x + 3 = 15 + 3 = 18
꧁Brother/Sister, Your correct answer will be꧂☞︎︎︎☟︎︎︎
✍︎Let the Breadth be x cm
➪Then the Length will be (x+3) cm.
∴Area of the Rectangle = x(x+3) cm².-----------------Eq (1)
✎Given that the length is increased by 9cm = x + 3 + 9 = x + 12cm.
➽Area of the Rectangle = (x+12)(x-5).------------------Eq (2)
✎On Solving (1) and (2), we get☞︎︎︎☟︎︎︎
➪x(x+3) = (x+12)(x-5)
➪x² + 3x = x² + 7x - 60
➪4x = 60
∴x= 60÷4=15
✍︎∴Breadth = 15cm
✍︎∴Length = 15 + 3 = 18cm.
