The width of a rectangle is two - thirds its length. If the perimeter is 180 metres, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be l m and b m

According to the question

(A)

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

And 2(l + b) = 180

Putting (A) we get

⇒ 5l = 90 × 3

⇒ l = 54 m

⇒ b = 2/3 (54) = 36m
