Question

(EASY) In a rectangle, the length is 5 metres more than the width The perimeter of the rectangle is 70 metres Calculate the measurments for the length and width

Answer 1

15 m and 20 m

Explanation:

Let the width be x

Length = x + 5

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

70 = 2(x + 5 + x)

70/2 = 2x + 5

35 = 2x + 5

35 - 5 = 2x

30 = 2x

30/2 = x

15 = x

Length = x + 5 = 20 m

Breadth = x = 15 m
