Half of the perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm. If the length of the rectangle is 6 cm more than its breath, then what is the area of the rectangle ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know that,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
If half of the perimeter of the triangle = 30cm
Then full perimeter of the triangle = 60 cm
Now it is given that, the length of the rectangle is 6 cm more than its breath.
Then let the value of breadth = x then the length will be x+ 6
Now,
2(x + x + 6) = 60
2x + 6 = 30
2x = 24
x = 12 = breadth
x + 6 = 18 = length.
Now the area of the triangle = 12 × 18 = 216 cm2
