The perimeter of a rectangle is (58) cm and its length is (7) cm more than its breadth. What is the breadth of the rectangle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (11) cm

The direct answer is option C: the breadth is 11 cm. Let length be l and breadth be b. The perimeter formula is 2(l+b)=58, so l+b=29. The statement that length is 7 cm more gives l-b=7. Add these equations: 2l=36, so l=18. Then b=29-18=11 cm. Option C is correct, and checking gives perimeter 2(18+11)=58 and length difference 18-11=7. Option A, 9 cm, would give length 16 cm and perimeter 50 cm. Option B, 10 cm, would give length 17 cm and perimeter 54 cm. Option D, 12 cm, would give length 19 cm and perimeter 62 cm. The common mistake is to use l+b=58 instead of half the perimeter; remember that a rectangle has two lengths and two breadths.
