P - perimeter L - length W - width P = 2(L + W) 70 = 2(L + W) 35 = L + W But L = W + 5 Substitute 35 = W + 5+ W 2W = 30 W = 15 m L = 15 + 5 L = 20 m ANS L = 20 m W = 1 5m

given, let width of rectangle=x then length of rectangle=5+x perimeter of given rectangle=70m perimeter of rectangle=2(length+width) substituting terms is formula 2(x+5+x)=70 2x+5=35 2x=30 x=15m hence, length of rectangle=15+5=20m
