The perimeter of a rectangle is 50cm. If the length of the rectangle is 15cm, what is the breadth?

1 answer

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

50cm = 2(15cm + breadth)

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

25cm = 15cm + breadth

Subtracting 15cm from both sides of the equation:

breadth = 25cm - 15cm

breadth = 10cm

The breadth of the rectangle is 10cm.
