Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 62 m and its breadth is 7 m. Find its length.

Answer 1

Given that the perimeter of the rectangle = 62 m and the breadth = 7 m
Since, perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
⇒ 2 (length + 7 m) = 62 m
⇒ (length + 7 m)$=\frac{62\mathrm{m}}{2}=31\mathrm{m}$
⇒ length = 31 m − 7 m
⇒ length = 24 m.
Hence, the length of the rectangle = 24 m.
