the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of a square. Twice the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 times, it's breadth. If one side of the square measures 100 cm. find the length and the breadth of the rectangle
Answers
Let:
- Lenght of rectangle be = l
- Breadth of rectangle be= b
Given:
- Twice the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 times, it's breadth
Thus,
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Also given:
- Perimeter of Rectangle = Perimeter of Square
- Side of square = 100cm
Thus,
4 × side of square = 2×( length + breadth)
⟹ 4 × 100cm = 2× ( l + b)
⟹ 400cm = 2l + 2b
⟹( 3b) +2 b =400 cm [from i we know 2l=3b]
⟹5b= 400cm
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Now by substituting b= 80 in the equation i,
2l=3b
⟹2l= 3× 80cm
⟹ 2l= 240cm
The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of a square. Twice the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 times, it's breadth. If one side of the square measures 100 cm. find the length and the breadth of the rectangle
- The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of a square.
- Twice the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 times, it's breadth.
- One side of the square measures 100 cm.
- The length and the breadth of the rectangle.
Length = 120 cm
Breadth = 80 cm
Length as L
Breadth as B
Perimeter as P
4 × sides = 2 (l+b)
4 × 100 = 2 (l+b)
400 = 2l + 2b
3b + 2b = 400
5b = 400
b = 400/5
b = 80 cm
Hence, breadth = 80 cm.
2l = 3b
2l = 3 × 80
2l = 240
l = 240/2
l = 120 cm
Hence, length = 120 cm.
