Question

The length of a rectangular hall is 4 meters more than its breadth. If the perimeter of the hall is 56 meters, find its length and breadth.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the breadth of rectangle

length of the rectangle = 4m

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

56 = 2(4+x)

56 = 8+2x

8+2x = 56

2x = 56 - 8

2x = 48

x = 48/2

x = 24

so, breadth = 24m

length = 4m
