Question 981910: the perimeter of a rectangle is 25 metre and one of its side is 5 metre.how many metre is the other side? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! hi there,
A perimeter = 2 x length + 2 x breadth
25 = (2 x 5) + 2b
25 = 10 + 2b
2b = 25 - 10
2b = 15
b = 7.5
So two sides = 5 metres
other two sides = 7.5 metres
Hope this helps :-)
