Question

The area of a rectangle is 259 cm sq and its length is 18.5cm find its breadth and perimeter

Answer 1

Breadth = 14 cm

Perimeter = 65 cm

Explanation:

• Length =
  `18.5cm`

Area =
`259cm^(2)` = l * b

Therefore, breadth = area / length

Breath = 259 / 185 = 1.4 * 10 = 14 cm

• Perimeter = 2 * (l + b)

Perimeter = 2 (18.5 + 14)

Perimeter = 2 (32.5)

Therefore, perimeter = 65 cm

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

let it's breadth be x

area of rectabgle=l*b

259=18.5*b

259/18.5=b

14=b

perimeter of rectangle=2(l+b)

=2(18.5+14)

=2*32.5

=65 cm
