Algebra.Com's Answer #2375 by jainenderkapoor(61)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! WHAT IS THE FORMULA FOR PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2 (Length + Breadth)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Suppose that the width/breadth of rectangle is x ft \n" ); document.write( "Then we have 1/4 Length = 2x \n" ); document.write( " Length = 2x * 1/4 \n" ); document.write( " Length = x/2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now Perimeter = 2 (Length + Breadth) = 160 \n" ); document.write( " 2 (x/2 + x) = 160 \n" ); document.write( " 2 (3x/2) = 160 \n" ); document.write( " 3x = 160 \n" ); document.write( " x = 160/3 \n" ); document.write( " So Width/Breadth = 160/3 ft \n" ); document.write( " Length = (160/3)/2 = 160/6\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHECK = Perimeter = 2 (Length + Breadth) \n" ); document.write( " = 2 (160/6 + 160/3) \n" ); document.write( " = 2 *160(1/6 + 1/3) \n" ); document.write( " = 2 * 160((2+1)/6) \n" ); document.write( " = 2 * 160 * 3 /6 \n" ); document.write( " = 160 ft\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "HOPE THIS IS CLEAR TO YOU.
