the length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice its width. The perimeter is 26 meter. Find the dimesions of the rectangle.

Let the breadth = x meter

length = (2x-5) meter

perimeter = 2 (l+b)

=> 26 = 2 (2x-5 + x)

=> 26 = 2 (3x - 5)

=> 26 = 6x - 10

=> 26 + 10 = 6x

=> 6x = 36

=> x = 36/6 = 6 meter

Thus, breadth = 6 meter

length = 2x-5 = 2*6 - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 meter
