-
Answer:perimeter=48msupposing length as xthen; breath of a rectangle =1/2xwe know that:p=2(l+b)48=2(x+1/2x)now taking LCM we get;48=2(2x+1x/2)LCM is as a whole for both part no emphasis in my keyboard48=6x/2now by cross multiplication method48/1=6x/26x=96x=16length of a rectangle =16mbreadth of a rectangle=1/2x1×16/28mbreadth of a rectangle =8m
