Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is $26m$. Find the sum of its length and breadth.

Answer 1

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be $a$ and $b$ respectively.

Then its perimeter will be $2(a+b)$.

According to the problem,

$2(a+b)=26$

or, $(a+b)=13$.

So the sum of the length and breadth of the rectangle is $13$.
