The perimeter of a rectangle is 17 cm. If its width is cm. then find its length.
Let the length of the rectangle = 1 cm
∴         Since, width of the rectangle (b) = cm
and                                  perimeter = 17 cm
  We know that perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b) cm
Then, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
or                                  Â
or                             Â
or                                 Â
or                                            (Transposing to RHS)
or                                          Â
  Dividing both sides by 2, we have
                                Â
                                        Â
∴                    Length of the rectangle =
