Concept:Understanding the relationship between the perimeter, length, and breadth of a rectangle.Explanation:Let's denote the breadth of the rectangle as cm and the length as cm.We are given two pieces of information:1. The length is 3 cm more than its breadth: . This can also be written as .2. The perimeter of the rectangle is 30 cm.The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is .Substituting the given perimeter, we get .Dividing both sides by 2, we find .Now we have a system of two linear equations:Equation (1): Equation (2): To find the length (), we can add Equation (1) and Equation (2):Divide by 2 to get the length: cm.We can also find the breadth by substituting into Equation (1): , which gives cm.The question asks for the length of the rectangle.Answer:9 cm
