A rectangle has perimeter and length of 50 cm and 15 cm respectively. Find its breadth.

Given: 

Perimeter of rectangle  = 50 cm

Length = 15 cm

To Find:

Breadth of the rectangle

Solution:

Formula to find perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length $+$ breadth)

Substitute the given values in formula,

$50 = 2 (15 + breadth)$

$\frac{50}{2} = 15 + breadth$

$25  =  15 + breadth$

$25 - 15  =  breadth$

$10 = breadth$

Therefore the breadth = 10 cm.
