Question

The length and width of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers and the perimeter is $168cm$. Find the length and width of the rectangular.

Answer 1

Perimeter of rectangle $=168cm$

Let the length of rectangle be $x$

$\therefore$ breadth (width) $=x+2$

{conscutive add integer}

$\therefore$ According to Question:-

$2\left[\right(x)+(x+2\left)\right]=168$

$2x+2=84$

$2x=82$

$x=41$

$\therefore$ Length $=41cm$; width $\Rightarrow 43cm$
