Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80m. It's length is 8m more than its breadth. Find its length and breadth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Breadth is= 16m

Length is= 24m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle= l + b + l + b = 80m

let the breadth= a

length= 8 + a

= 8+a + 8+a + a+ a = 80m

= 16+ 4a = 80m

= 4a= 80 - 16

= 4a= 64

= a= 64/4

= a= 16

breadth= 16m

length= 16 + 8

= 24m

Verification:

Perimeter= l + b + l + b

= 16 + 24 + 16 + 24

=80

Hence, the breadth is= 16m

Hence, the length is= 24m
