Question:

A rectangular LCD has an area of 480 cm2 and a perimeter of 92 cm. If the size of the LCD is defined in term of length of the diagonal, then what is the size of the LCD?

Options:

34 cm

39 cm

31 cm

35 cm

Correct Answer:

34 cm

Explanation:

We have,

The perimeter of a rectangular LCD = 92m.

Area = 480m2

Then 2(l + b) = 92

L+ b = 46 … (A)

And lb = 480 ….(B)

Now, we know that,

 (l - b)2 = (l + b)2  - 4lb

= (l –b)2 = 2116 - 4 × 480

= (l –b)2 = 2116 - 1920 = 196

(l - b) = 14 ….(C)

From, equation (A) and (C)

 B = 16, and l = 30

Then (Diagonal)2 = 302  + 162

(Diagonal)2  = 1156

Diagonal = 34.
