Answer
View full question & answer→Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be $5x$ and $4x$ respectively.
$\therefore 2(5x + 4x) = 90$
$\Rightarrow 18x = 90$
$\Rightarrow x = 5$
Length of the rectangle is $(5 \times 5) = 25cm$ and breadth $= (4 \times 5) = 20cm.$
$\therefore 2(5x + 4x) = 90$
$\Rightarrow 18x = 90$
$\Rightarrow x = 5$
Length of the rectangle is $(5 \times 5) = 25cm$ and breadth $= (4 \times 5) = 20cm.$
