Question

The length of the room is 2½ times the breadth. The perimeter of the room is 70 m. What are the length and breadth of the room?

Answer 1

length=25m

breadth=10m

Explanation:

2.5units+2.5units+1unit+1unit=7units

70/7=10

length=10x2.5=25

breadth=10

(sorryy im not really sure but i hope it helps :D)

Answer 2

Length = 25 cm

Breadth = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let breadth of the room be 'x'

Let length of the room be ''

Perimeter ( P ) = 70 cm

Now, let's find the breadth of the room 'x '

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

plug the values

70=2(2.5x+x)

Collect the like terms

70=2x3.5x

Calculate the product

70=7x

Swap the sides of the equation

7x=70

Divide both sides of the equation by 7

7x / 7= 70/7

Calculate

x=10cm

Breadth = 10 cm

Now, Let's find the length of the room ' 2.5x '

Length of the room = 2.5x

Plug the value of X

2.5x10

Calculate the product

25cm

Thus , The length and breadth of the room is 25 cm and 10 cm respectively.

Hope this helps..
