Question

the sum of length and breadth of a rectangle is 17 m . if the length is 5 m more than the breadth , find the length of the rectangle? 1: 18 m 2: 17 m 3: 16 m 4: 11 m​

Answer 1

MAIN ANSWER: 4)11

Steps

Let's assume

Breadth= x

therefore length = x+5

we are given

$x + (x + 5) = 17 \\ = \\ 2x = 12 \\ = \\ x = 6$

therefore breadth =6

hence length =

$6 + 5 = 11$

therefore

11

is our required answer

option 4) 11 is correct
