Ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 3:2. If the length of rectangle is 5 m more than the breadth, find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Let the breadth of the rectangle be x meters.
Then, the length of the rectangle will be 3x meters.
Given that the length is 5 meters more than the breadth, we have:
3x = x + 5
=> 2x = 5
=> x = 2.5

So, the breadth of the rectangle is 2.5 meters and the length is 3 * 2.5 = 7.5 meters.

The perimeter of the rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Breadth)
= 2 * (7.5 + 2.5)
= 2 * 10
= 20 meters

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 20 meters.
