Question

The length of a rectangle plot exceeds it's breadth by 5 metre .if the perimeter of the plot is 142 metres ,find the length and the breadth of the plot

Answer 1

Let length be x+5 and breath be x
perimeter=2(l+b)
142=2(x+x+5)
71=2x+5
2x=66
x=33
l=38m
b=33m



Plz mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Let the breadth be x and then length will be x+5

Perimeter =2(l+b)

142=2(l+b)

142/2=l+b

71=l+b

71=x+x+5

71-5=2x

66=2x

66/2=x

33=x


Then, breadth =33m and length =33+5=38m
