The length of a rectangle is 1cm more than two times its breadth. Its perimeter is 80cm. What is its length and breadth ? About the author Valentina
Step-by-step explanation: let breadth be x then length will be = 2x+1 perimeter of rectangle= 2(length+breadth) =80cm 2((2x+1)+x) =80 cm 2(3x+1)=80 cm 6x+2= 80cm 6x= 80–2 cm x= 78÷6 cm x= 13 cm breadth =13 cm length = 2×13+1 = 27 cm Reply
Step-by-step explanation:
let breadth be x
then
length will be = 2x+1
perimeter of rectangle= 2(length+breadth) =80cm
2((2x+1)+x) =80 cm
2(3x+1)=80 cm
6x+2= 80cm
6x= 80–2 cm
x= 78÷6 cm
x= 13 cm
breadth =13 cm
length = 2×13+1
= 27 cm
Therefore breadth = 13 cm and length = 27cm.
