Question

the perimeter of a rectangle is 92 whose breadth is 10 less than the length of the length of the rectangle is​

Answer 1

Answer :

• The length of the rectangle = 28 units
• The breadth of the rectangle = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation :

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\multiput(0,0)(5,0){2}{\line(0,1){3}}\multiput(0,0)(0,3){2}{\line(1,0){5}}\put(0.03,0.02){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\put(0.03,2.75){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\put(4.74,2.75){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\put(4.74,0.02){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\multiput(2.1,-0.7)(0,4.2){2}{\sf\large x}\multiput(-1.4,1.4)(6.8,0){2}{\sf\large (x-10) }\put(-0.5,-0.4){\bf A}\put(-0.5,3.2){\bf D}\put(5.3,-0.4){\bf B}\put(5.3,3.2){\bf C}\end{picture}$

Let the length of the rectangle be x units

Given,

the breadth of the rectangle is 10 less than that of length.

Therefore, breadth of the rectangle = (x - 10) units

Also given,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 92 units

we know that,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

     92 = 2(x + x - 10)

     92 = 2(2x - 10)

     92/2 = 2x - 10

     46 = 2x - 10

     2x = 46 + 10

     2x = 56

     x = 56/2

     x = 28  

The length of the rectangle = 28 units

The breadth of the rectangle = 28 - 10 = 18 units
