Answer:
length= 25 cm
width= 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
FIrst is to write the given into mathematical expressions
length= x+10
width= x
perimeter= 80 cm
Next is to solve for the perimeter of the rectangle
p= 2l+2w
Substitute the length and width
p= 2(x+10) + 2(x)
Simplify
p= 2x+20 + 2x
p= 4x+20
Equate the binomial above to 80 to find the dimensions
4x+20=80
Solve for the value of x
4x=60
x=15
Substitute the values of x
length= (15) + 10= 25 cm
width= 15 cm
