Question

A rectangular box has a height $\mathrm{h}\mathrm{cm}$. Its length is $5$ times the height and its breadth is $10\mathrm{cm}$ less than the length. Express the length and the breadth of the box in terms of height.

Answer 1

Given, the height of a rectangular box $=\mathrm{h}\mathrm{cm}$

According to the question, the length of the rectangular box is $5$ times the height of the rectangular box.

Then the length of the rectangular box $=5\times \mathrm{h}=5\mathrm{h}\mathrm{cm}$.

Now the breadth of the rectangular box is $10\mathrm{cm}$ less than the length of the rectangular box.

Then the breadth of the rectangular box $=(5\mathrm{h}-10)\mathrm{cm}$.

Therefore the length and the breadth of the rectangular box are $5\mathrm{h}\mathrm{cm}$ and $(5\mathrm{h}-10)\mathrm{cm}$ respectively.
