Answer:
given,
Perimeter= 42cm
length is double its breadth
breadth=x , length= 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b)
2 (l+b) =42
2 ( 2x + x)=42
4x+2x = 42
6x=42
x=4
42/6
x= 7cm
∴, breadth(x) = 7cm
length (2x)= 2*7=14 cm

✠ Given :-
- Perimeter of rectangle = 42 cm
- Length of rectangle is double of it's breadth
------------------------------------------------------
✠ To Find :-
- Length and breadth of the rectangle
------------------------------------------------------
✠ Solution :-
Let :
- Breadth of rectangle = x
- Length of rectangle = 2x
★ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( L + B )
→ 42 = 2 ( x + 2x )
→ 42/2 = 3x
→ 21 = 3x
→ x = 21/3
→ x = 7
Therefore :
- Breadth of rectangle = 7 cm
- Length of rectangle = 14 cm
