The perimeter of a rectangle is 50
cm. The length is 2x
cm. Determine the breadth in terms of x
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
Given: Perimeter = 50 cm, length = 2x
Substitute the given values into the perimeter formula:
50 = 2(2x + breadth)
50 = 4x + 2breadth
2breadth = 50 - 4x
2breadth = 2(25 - 2x)
breadth = 25 - 2x
Therefore, the breadth in terms of x is 25 - 2x.
