Question

The length of the rectangle is triple its breadth. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 64 m, then find the area (in m2) of the rectangle.

A 182 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 122 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 172 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 192 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the breadth of the rectangle = x, so the length of the rectangle = 3x Perimeter = 2(l + b) 64 = 2(x + 3x) 32 = 4x x = 8 Breadth = 8 m, Length = 24 m So the area of the rectangle = 8 × 24 = 192 m2
