Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 cm. The length is 5 cm more than its breadth Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Breadth = 10 cm

Length =  15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth = x  cm

Length = (x + 5) cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 50 cm

2 *( length + breadth) = 50

2*(x + 5 + x) = 50

Combine like terms

2*(2x + 5) = 50

2*2x + 2*5 = 50

4x + 10 = 50

Subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 50 - 10

4x = 40

Divide both sides by 4

x = 40/4

x = 10

Breadth = x = 10 cm

Length = x +5 =  10 + 5 = 15 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

breadth = x

length = x+5

perimeter = 2*(x+x+5)

50 = 2*(2x+5)

50/2 = 2x+5

25 = 2x+5

2x = 25-5

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

breadth= x=10

length= x+5=10+5=15
