Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80 metres and its length is
one metre more than twice the breadth. What are its length andbreadth?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Breadth of the rectangle=13 metres

Length of the rectangle=2x+1=2 x 13+1=26+1=

27metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth of the rectangle be x. Then,

Length of the rectangle=2x+1

2(2x+1+x)=80

4x+2+2x=80

6x+2=80

6x=80-2

6x=78

x=78/6

x=13

Breadth of the rectangle=13 metres

Length of the rectangle=2x+1=2 x 13+1=26+1=

27metres
