The length of rectangle is 14 cm more than its breadth. If the perimeter is 448 cm, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Answers
Explanation:
suppose
breath x so leanth x+14
perimeter of rectangle =2( leanth)+ 2 ( braeth)
448=2×x+2×x+14
448=2x+2x+28
448=4x + 28
448-28=4x
420=4x
x = 105 mean breath
and x+14= 119 means leanth
a
• Length of rectangle is 14 cm more than its breadth.
• Perimeter of the rectangle is 448 cm.
• What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
Formula to be used :-
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + b)
Where,
l = Length
b = Breadth
Let the breadth of the rectangle be x cm
As per question :-
Given that,
Length is 14 cm more than breadth.
Therefore,
Length of the rectangle will be =( x + 14) cm
According to the question :-
Perimeter of the rectangle is 448 cm.
Hence,
___________________________________________________
Perimeter of rectangle = 448
⟹ 2 ( l + b) = 448
Where,
l = x +14
b = x
⟹ 2 ( x +14 + x) = 448
⟹ 4 ( x +7) = 448
⟹ x + 7 = 112
⟹ x = 105
Breadth of the rectangle is = 105 cm
Length of the rectangle is
= x + 14
= 105 +14
= 119 cm
Hence,dimensions are 119 cm and 105 cm.
