the perimeter of rectangle is 210m and its length is 15m more than double the width find its length and width
Answers
Answer:
Width of rectangle is 30 m
Length of rectangle is 75 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Width of rectangle (b) = x
Length of rectangle (l) = 2x + 15
The perimeter of rectangle = 210 m
The perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + width)
⇒ 2 (2x + 15 + x) = 210
⇒ 2 (3x + 15) = 210
⇒ 6x + 30 = 210
⇒ 6x = 210 - 30
⇒ 6x = 180
⇒ x = 180 / 6
⇒ x = 30
Hence,
Width of rectangle (b) = 30 m
Length of rectangle (l) = 2x + 15
⇒ 2x + 15
⇒ 2 (30) + 15
⇒ 60 + 15
⇒ 75
Therefore,
Width of rectangle is 30 m
Length of rectangle is 75 m
Perimeter of rectangle = 210 m
Width (b) = x m
Length (l) = (2x + 15) m
Formula for perimeter of rectangle=2(l+b)
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(2x+15+x) m
210 = 2(3x+15)
➟ 105 = 3x+15
➟ 105-15 = 3x
➟ 90 = 3x
➟ x = 90/3
➟ x = 30
Width = x m = 30 m
Length = (2x + 15) m = 60+15 = 75 m
