Correct Question:-

The length is 5more than twice the width.

Solution:-

  • Let width be x
  • Length be 2x+5

ATQ


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 2(L+B)=88


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 2(x+2x+5)=88


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 2(3x+5)=88


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 6x+10=88


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 6x=78


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=13

  • Width=13
  • Length=2(13)+5=31

\bold{\boxed{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer }}}}}


\bold{\underline{Given :- }}


\sf{The \: perimeter\:of\:the\:rectangle = 88}


\sf{The \: length \: is\: 5 \:more \:than \: 2 × width }


\bold{\underline{To \: Find :- }}

  • We have to find the length and breath of the rectangle .


\bold{\underline{Let's \:Begin :- }}


\sf{ Let\: the\: breath \:be \: x }


\sf{\underline{ We\: know\: that, }}


\sf{\red{ Perimeter\: of \: rectangle = 2( L + W)}}


\sf{\underline{ According\: to\: the \:question }}


\sf{The \: length \: is \: 5 \:more \:than \: 2 × width }


\sf{\underline{That \:is }}


\sf{ Length = 2x + 5 }


\sf{\underline{Subsitute the \:required \:values }}


\sf{ Perimeter \:of\: rectangle = 2( L + W) }


\sf{ 88 = 2( 2x + 5 + x) }


\sf{ 88 = 4x + 10 + 2x }


\sf{ 88 = 6x + 10 }


\sf{ 88 - 10 = 6x }


\sf{ 78 = 6x }


\sf{ x = 78/6 }


\sf{ x = 13 }


\sf{ Thus,\: the \:width \:is \:13\: feet }


\bold{\underline{ Now }}


\sf{ Length = 2x + 5 }


\sf{ Length = 2(13) + 5 }


\sf{ Length = 26 + 5 }


\sf{ Length = 31 }


\sf{\pink{ Hence, \: Length\: and \:breath \:are\: 13 \:and\: 31 \: feet}}
