Solution
Using property of rectangle,
We know that,
Lengths are equal,
i.e., CD = AB
Hence, x + 3y = 13 ......(i)
Breadth are equal,
i.e., AD = BC
Hence, 3x + y = 7 ......(ii)
On multiplying equation (ii) by 3 and then subtracting equation (i), we get
9x + 3y = 21
x + 3y = 13
– – –
8x = 8
So, x = 1
On substituting x = 1 in equation (i), we get
3y = 12
y = 4
Therefore, the required values of x and y are 1 and 4, respectively.
