Answer:

the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the dimension of the rectangle is shown below:

Given that

The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm

The width be x

So, the length would be 2 1 ÷ 4 x - 3 i.e.  9 ÷ 4x - 3

Now as we know that

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + width)

20 = 2 (9 ÷ 4x - 3 + x)

20 = 9 ÷ 2x - 6 + 2x

20 = 4.5x - 6 + 2x

26 = 6.5x

x = 4 cm

Now the length would be

= 9 × 4  ÷ 4  - 3

= 6 cm

Hence, the dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm and 6 cm respectively
