Answer:

The correct answer is = p = 15 and q = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of rectangle = 42 cm

p - q = 9 cm

length = p

width = q

we know:

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(l+w)

solution:

42 = 2(P+q)

21= p+q

Difference of p and q = 9 cm.

Then, P+q=21 .... 1

P-q=9 ....2

Adding both 1 and 2

2P = 30

P= 15cm and

q = 15-9

= 6cm

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

You need to find common factors. The factors of 88 are 1 and 88, 2 and 44, 4 and 22, and 8 and 11. The factors of thirty are 1 and 30, 2 and 15, and 5 and 6. The greatest common factor is 2 so the ratio is 44:15.
