The perimeter of the rectangle is 160cm and the width is 10cm less than the length. Find its length.

The solution of the problem:

Perimeter – 160 cm

Let’s take the width as x

Then (x + 10) will be the length.

Let’s make an equation.

2 * (x + x + 10) = 160

x + x + 10 = 160/2

2x + 10 = 80

2x = 80 – 10

x = 70/2

x = 35cm – rectangle width

35 + 10 = 45cm – the length of the rectangle

Answer: the length of the rectangle is 45cm
