how to find length and breadth of a rectangle if perimeter is given ?

Dear Student,

Let the length of the rectangle be xBreadth of the rectangle be yPerimeter, p=2x+ySince, p is given and hence constantSo, p=2x+y is a linear equation in two variables. You have to find solutions of his equation.Therefore, assume values of x natural numbers and find corresponding values of y.
Regards,
