The perimeter of a rectangle is 130 cm. If the breadth of the rectangle is 30 cm, find its length. Also find the area of the rectangle.


It is given in the question that,


Breadth of rectangle = 30 cm


Perimeter of rectangle = 130 cm


We know that,


Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)


130 = 2 (Length + 30)


65 = Length + 30


Length = 65 – 30


= 35 cm


We also know that,


Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth


= 35 × 30


= 1050 cm2


Area of rectangle = 1050 cm2
