Answer:

Explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 332m

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L+b)

Breadth = 75m

= 2 ( L + 75) = 332

2L + 150 = 332

2L = 332-150

L = 182/2

L= 91m

the answer should be 91 because for your total perimeter you add all the sides. So you already have your length of 75 which counts as 2 sides and equals up to 150. after you subtract your two sides from your perimeter you get 182. you then divide 182 by 2 to get your two remaining sides which gives you 91.
