Question

The length of a rectangular table is 3 metres more than its breadth. If the perimeter of the table is 26 metres, find its length and breadth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

breadth = 5, length = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can label the breadth as b. So, our equation is

2b + 2(b+3) = 26

We can distribute into the parenthesis to get

2b + 2b + 6 = 26

We can simplify this to get

4b + 6 = 26

We can subtract 6 from both sides to get

4b = 20

So, b = 5.

That means, the length is 8.

Answer 2

Answer:

length = 8 m

breadth = 5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth be x. Then length be 3+x

perimeter ofrectangle = 2(l+b)

26 = 2( 3+x + x)

26 = 2( 3+ 2x)

26 = 6 + 4x

26 - 6 = 4x

20 = 4x

20 / 4 = x

5 = x

Hence, breadth of rectangular table is 5m and

length = 3 + x

= 3 + 5

= 8 m
