Question

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

Answer 1

Length = 5x = 59.15 m

Breadth = x = 11.83 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth of the plot be $x$ m

$\therefore$ Length = $x+5 \ m$

Perimeter = 142m

$\clubs\sf \: perimeter \: of \: rectangle \: = 2(l + b)$

$\leadsto \: 142 = 2(5x + x)$

$\leadsto \: 71 = 6x$

$\leadsto \: x = 11.83$
