Hey there!!

Formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle

= 2 ( Length + Breadth )

Length = 5 feet

Perimeter = 15 feet

Let's take breadth as ' x ' feet

Now, plug in the values

2 ( 5 + x ) = 16

Use the distributive property

10 + 2x = 16

Subtract 10 on both sides

2x = 6

Divide 2 on both sides

x = 3

Hence, breadth = 3 feet

Hope my answer helps!
