Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mean length is 2½ times its width not "2½cm times its width"

      2(L + W) = 270

2(2.5W + W) = 270

      2(3.5W) = 270

              7W = 270

                W = 38.5714285714...

                W ≈ 38.57 cm

Answer:

Width = 38. 57 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a Rectangle = 270 cm

Now,

Let's take x to be the width.

Length = 2½ = 5x/2

According to the formula,

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( l + w )

270 = 2 ( 5x/2 + x )

270 = 5x + 2x

270 = 7x

x = 270/7

x = 38. 57 cm.

• The width of a rectangle is 38.57 cm
