    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    2*25=50
    90-50=40

    So you have a square with perimeter of 40, 10cm to a side. So the rectangle is 10 x 35 which is 350 sq. cm.

    35 + 35 + 10 + 10 = 90

    25 + 25 + 20 + 20 = 90.....

    25 is more than 20...

    It all depends on your inflection...

    It says "the length is 25cm more than the width" not "the length is 25cm, more than the width". And as it's a rectangle, it's patently obvious that the length is longer than the width.

    Exactly - as Silent says and as Wongo has drawn (my calculations in drawing form)

    So it could be anything then.

    what about 44 + 44 + 1 + 1 = 90......

    44 is more than 1...

    But I like you Gra.

    Yes but when you place modifiers on a different line to the original question you stuff the more athletically minded up

    I'm with Silent, Wongo and all the other 350sqcm'ers.

    90 = 4x + 50
    90-50= 4x
    40/4 = x
    x = 10

    Easy, short sides = x or 10, long sides = x+25 or 35

    Sorry Gra think you've had two many magic mushrooms or something this morning.

    Cheers, John
