Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 cm. The breadth is 5cm less than that of length. What is the length and breadth.

Answer 1

Answer:

length=15cm

breadth=10cm

Answer 2

Answer:

length =15

breath = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length be x

breath = x-5

according to question

50(perimeter)=2(length + breadth)

50=2(x+x-5)

50=2x+2x-10

50=4x-10

50+10=4x

60=4x

x= 60/4

x=15 .

so, length = 15cm

and breath = 10cm (15-5)
