Question 53

The perimeter of a rectangle is 28cm. If the length is 5/2 times its breadth, find the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Solution

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

2(l + b) = 28

l + b = 14

Now l = $$\frac{5}{2}b$$

So, $$\frac{5}{2}b+b$$ = 14

$$\frac{7b}{2}=14$$

Hence, b = 4 and l = 10.
