The length of a rectangle is 3 cm more than its breadth. If the perimeter of the

Answer 1

Answer:

breadth = 10 cm

length = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

so,

perimeter = 46cm

2(l+b) = 46cm

or, 2(3+b+b) = 46cm ( because l = 3+b)

or, 2(3+2b) = 46cm

or, 6 + 4b = 46cm

or, 4b = 46cm - 6

or, 4b = 40cm

or, b = 40/4 cm

so, b = 10 cm

now,

l = 3cm + b

l = 3 cm + 10cm

= 13cm
