Answer 2

Answer :

• length is 15m
• breadth is 10m

Given :

• The ratio of length and breadth of rectangle is 3:2
• Perimeter of rectangle is 50m

To find :

• length and breadth of rectangle

Solution :

• let the length of rectangle be 3x
• let the breadth of rectangle be 2x

As we know that ,

• perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

where l is 3x , b is 2x and perimeter is 50

● perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

● 2(3x + 2x) = 50

● 2(5x) = 50

● 10x = 50

● x = 50/10

● x = 5

Now,

• length of rectangle = 3x = 3(5) = 15m
• breadth of rectangle = 2x = 2(5) = 10m

Hence length is 15m and breadth is 10m
