Question

the length of a rectangle is twice its breadth if the perimeter is 72 metres find the length and breadth of the rectangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

L = 24m , B = 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

PERIMETER OF RECTANGLE = 2(l+b)

72 meters                                = 2(2b+b)  [since length is 2 times breadth]

72 meters                                 = 2(3b)

72 meters                                  = 6b

b = 72/6

   12 meters.

THEN length = 2b = 2(12)

                              =24 meters

HENCE, length = 24 m

              breadth = 12 m
