Answer:
Length = 12cm
Width = 8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x
Let the width be 2/3x
Perimeter = 2 (l+b)
Length = 2 (x+2/3x) = 40
= x + 2/3x = 40/2
= x + 2/3x = 20
= x/1 + 2/3x = 20
LCM = 3
= 3x + 2x = 20
______
3
= 3x + 2x = 20 x 3
= 5x = 60
= x = 60/5
= x = 12
Width = 2/3 of 12
= 2/3 × 12
= 8
