Question 948191: the length of a rectangle is 6 m more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 m. find its length and breadth. Answer by Princess07(1) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Representation:
Let X be the width
Let X+6m be the length
Solution:
(X)+(X+6)=60
2X+6=60
2X=54
X= 27m
So, we've got the width which is 27 meters. Now lets get the length which has a measurement of X+6m.
Substituting X= 27m to X+6m,
27m+6m
=33m
Conclusion:
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 33m and its width is 27m.
