Question
The ratio of length to breadth of a rectangle is 3:5. If
the sum of the length and breadth of the rectangle is 32 cm, then find the area (cm2) of the rectangle.Solution
Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 3x cm and 5x cm, respectively. According to the question, 3x + 5x = 32 Or, x = 32/8 = 4 Therefore, area of the rectangle = 3x × 5x = 15x2 = 240 cm2
The length and breadth of a rectangle are increased by 20% and 30% respectively. The increase in the area of the resulting rectangle will be:
