Question

    The length and width of a rectangle are in the ratio of

    11:8. Additionally, the length of the rectangle is 54 cm less than its perimeter. Using this information, determine the area of the rectangle.
    A 352 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 324 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 396 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 288 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be '11x' cm and '8x' cm, respectively. ATQ; 2 X (11x + 8x) = 54 + 11x Or, 38x = 54 + 11x Or, 27x = 54 So, x = 2 So, area of the rectangle = 11x X 8x = 88 X 4 = 352 cm2
