Question

the length of the rectangle is 4 times its breadth.if the perimeter of the rectangle is 60m find the length and breadth of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

length of rectangle = 24m and breadth of rectangle = 6m

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of rectangle be l

let breadth of rectangle be b

Given : l = 4b

            perimeter of rectangle = 60m

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 60m

2(4b+b) = 60m  (Substituting)

2(5b) = 60m

5b = 30m

b = 30/5m = 6m

l = 4b = 24m

Hence, breadth of rectangle = 6m and length of rectangle = 24m
