2 find the length and breadth
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
given perimeter is 40 cm
let the breadth be X
length will be 2x+2
we know that perimeter of rectangle formula is 2(l+b)
2(X+2x+2)=40
2x+4x+4=40
6x+4=40
6x=40-4
6x=54
x=9
therefore breadth =X=9cm
length=2x+2=2(9)+2=18+2=20cm
The perimeter of rectangle is 40 cm. The length of the rectangle is more than double its breadth by 2. Find the length and breadth.
GiveN:-
Perimeter of rectangle = 40 cm
Let breadth = x
Then according to the given condition,
Length = 2x + 2
To FinD:-
Length and breadth of the rectangle
SolutioN:-
Perimeter of the rectangle is given as 40 cm.
Length = 2 x + 2
Breadth = x
As we know,
Perimeter = 2 ( l + b )
⇒ 40 cm = 2 ( l + b )
⇒ 40 cm = 2 ( 2x + 2 + x )
⇒ 40 cm = 2 ( 3x + 2 )
⇒ 40 cm = 6x + 4
⇒ 40 - 4 = 6x
⇒ 36 = 6x
Therefore x = 6 cm
Then,
Breadth of the rectangle = x = 6 cm
Length of the rectangle = 2x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 cm
VerificatioN:-
Perimeter = 2 ( L + B )
On substituting values,
40 cm = 2 ( 14 + 6 )
40 cm = 2 ( 20 )
40 = 40
LHS = RHS
Hence verified !!
All Done !!☺
