    Question

    The perimeter of a sector of a circle, whose radius is

    18 cm, is 62 cm. If the length of a rectangle is 10 cm more than the arc subtended by the sector and its perimeter is 96 cm, then find the area (in cm2) of the rectangle.
    A 432 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 422 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 462 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 482 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the arc subtended by the sector be β€˜l’ cm and the radius of the circle be β€˜r’ cm According to the question, (l + 2r) = 62 Or, l = 62 – 2r = 62 – (2 Γ— 18) = 26 cm Therefore, length of the rectangle = 26 + 10 = 36 cm Let the breadth of the rectangle be β€˜b’ cm Therefore, 2 Γ— (36 + b) = 96 Or, b = 48 – 36 = 12 cm Therefore, area of the rectangle = length Γ— breadth = 12 Γ— 36 = 432 cm2
