Q.3: Two sides of a rectangle differ by 3.5cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle if its perimeter is
67cm.

Solution:

Let

Length of rectangle = x

Width of rectangle = y

By condition of question:

− = 3.5
2( + ) = 67 ∴ = 2( ℎ+ ℎ)
Simplifying above equations:

− = 3.5
2 + 2 = 67

Q.4: The third angle of an isosceles triangle is 16° less than the sum of the two equal angles. Find three
angles of the triangle.

Solution:

Let

One of the equal angle = x

Third angle=y

By condition of question:

+ − 16 =
2 − = 16
As we know that

Sum of three angles of triangles = 180 degrees

+ + = 180
