Question

The length of the rectangle is 5 cm more than its breadth. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 62cm, find it’s area.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth be x

Then the length will be 5+x

Therefore

2×(x+5+x)=62

or, x+5+x=62/2

or, x+5+x=31

or, 2x+5=31

or, 2x=31-5

or, 2x=26

or, x=26/2

or, x=13

Therefore

Breadth=13cm

Length=13+5=18cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = x+5

Breadth = x

Perimeter = 62 so the equation must be:

2(x+5+x) = 62

2(2x+5) = 62

4x+10 = 62

4x = 62 -10

4x = 52

x = 52/4

x = 13

Length = 13+5 = 18

Breadth = 13

Area = 18*13 = 234 cm ^2
