Question
The length of a rectangle is 6 metres more than its
width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 metres then what is the area (in m2Â ) of the rectangle?Solution
Let the width of the rectangle = ‘x’ metres Then, length of the rectangle = (x + 6) metres Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width) Or, 2 × (x + x + 6) = 60 Or, 2x + 2x + 12 = 60 Or, 4x = 60 – 12 = 48 Or, x = 48/4 = 12 m So, area of the rectangle = x × (x + 6) = 12 × 18 = 216 m2
