Explanation:
- Length of rectangle = 7 less than the twice the breadth
- Perimeter = 40 cm
Let us say the breadth as b and length as l.
→ Length = 7 less than the twice the breadth
→ l = 2b - 7 ...(1)
Now, according to the question,
→ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
→ 40 = 2(2b - 7 + b)
→ 40 = 2(3b - 7)
→ 40 = 6b - 14
→ 40 + 14 = 6b
→ 54 = 6b
→ 54 ÷ 6 = b
→ 9 m = Breadth
Now, finding length.
→ l = 2b - 7
→ l = 2(9) - 7 m
→ l = 18 - 7 m
→ Length = 11 m
