Answer:
Length is 45cm and Breadth is 33cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 156cm
Let the length be x
Breadth = x-12
Perimter = 2(l+b)
156 = 2(x-12+x)
156 = 2(2x-12)
156 = 4x-24
156+25 = 4x
180 = 4x
180÷4 = x
45 = x
Therefore, length is x = 45cm and breadth is x-12 = 45-12 = 33cm
OUR EQUATIONS
LENGTH = x
BREADTH = x–12
