Answer:
Breadth of the plot is 33 m.
Length of the plot is 38 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let length and breadth of rectangular plot be 'l' and 'b' respectively.
It is given that
l = b+5
Perimeter = 142 m
2 ( l+ b ) = 142
l + b =71
b+ 5 + b = 71
2b +5 = 71
2b = 66
b = 33 m
l = b+5
l = 33+ 5
l = 38 m
