Question

the length of a rectangular plot exceeds its breadth by 5m. The perimeter of the rectangular plot is 142m. what is the breadth of the plot

Answer 1

let b be X m

then L to be x+5 m

ATQ

2(x+x+5)=142

2(2x+5)=142

4x+10=142

4x=142-10

4x= 132

x=132/4

x=33

breadth is 38 m

plzzzzz mark as brainliest answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

perimeter of rectangle = 2( l+ b)

here, breadth b = 5 and perimeter = 142

=> 142= 2(l + 5)

142=2l +10

132 = 2l

=> l = 66
