lengths of the sides. Answer by shweta(56) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter of rectangle=22 cm
Let the length be 'l' and width be 'w'
l= w+5 ....(1)
P= 2(l+w)
22= 2(w +5+ w)
22/2= 2w + 5
11=2w+5
11-5=2w
6=2w
w=6/2
w=3
Length ,l= w+5
l=3+5
l=8
The length of rectangle is 8cm and width is 3cm
