Answer:

The length is 380 mill and the width is 270 mill.

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of a rectangle is 1300 mil .

Width is 110 mill less than the length.

Now, to find the length and width.

Let the length be
x.

Thus, the width =
x-110.

Perimeter = 1300 mil.

Now, to get the length and width of rectangle by putting formula:


Perimeter=2(length+width)


1300=2(x+(x-110))


1300=2(x+x-110)


1300=2(2x-110)


1300=4x-220

Adding both sides by 220 we get:


1520=4x

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:


380=x


x=380\ mill.

The length = 380 mill.

Thus, the width =
x-110=380-110=270\ mill.

Therefore, the length is 380 mill and the width is 270 mill.
