    ❍ Let’s Consider the Breadth of Rectangle be x m

    Then ,

    Given that ,

    • Length of a rectangle is 2 meters more than its breadth.

    Therefore,

    • Length of Rectangle is x + 2 m

    [tex]\dag\frak{\underline {Perimeter \:of\:Rectangle \::}}\\[/tex]

    [tex]\star\boxed {\sf{\pink{ Perimeter_{(Rectangle)} = 2 ( l + b) \:units }}}\\\\[/tex]

    Where ,

    • l is the Length of Rectangle and b is the Breadth of Rectangle.

    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[tex]\underline {\bf{\star\:Now \: By \: Substituting \: the \: known \: Values \::}}\\[/tex]

    [tex] :\implies \sf { 24 = 2(x + x + 2) }\\\\ :\implies \sf { \cancel {\dfrac{24}{2}} = x + x + 2 }\\\\ :\implies \sf { 12 = x + x + 2 }\\\\ :\implies \sf { 12 = 2x + 2 }\\\\ :\implies \sf { 12-2 = 2x }\\\\ :\implies \sf { 10 = 2x }\\\\ :\implies \sf { \cancel {\dfrac{10}{2}} = x }\\\\\underline {\boxed{\pink{ \mathrm { x = 5\: m}}}}\:\bf{\bigstar}\\[/tex]

    Therefore,

    • Length of Rectangle is (x +2) = 5 + 2 = 7 m
    • Breadth of Rectangle is x = 5 m

    Therefore,

    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[tex]\therefore {\underline{ \mathrm { Hence,\: Breadth \:of\:Rectangle \:is\:\bf{5\: m}}}}\\[/tex]
