Answer:
Length = 24 cm
Breadth = 7 cm
Let the length be l cm and the breadth be b cm
Given,
l = 2b+ 10
Applying Pythagorean theorem to the triangle formed by length, breadth and diagonal.
25 = 1² + b²
625 = (2b + 10²) +b²
625 = 4b² +40 b +100 + b²
625 - 100 = 5b² + 40b
525 = 5b² + 40b
5b² + 40 b - 525 = 0
Dividing throughout by 5,
b² + 8b -105 = 0
b² + 15b -7b - 105 = 0
b(b+15) -7 (b+15) = 0
( b+15 )(6 -7) = 0
So, b = -15 or +7
Since breadth can't be negative
Hence b = 7cm
Hence l = 2b + 10
l = 24 cm
