You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The ratio we can write as:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "l/b=8/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it is given that lenght is 10.5 cm more than breadth then l=b+10.5,
\n" ); document.write( "now substitute for l
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28b%2B10.5%29%2Fb=8%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8b=5(b+10.5)
\n" ); document.write( "3b=52.5
\n" ); document.write( "b=17.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then l=b+10.5=17.5+10.5=28
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
