Question

A rectangle has the same perimeter as a square
of side 14cm. If the length of the rectangle is 6
more than its breadth, what is the length of the
rectangle?
A
17 cm
B
12 cm
C
15 cm
D
11 cm​

Answer 1

PERIMETER OF SQUARE=(14 × 4)cm

=56cm

PERIMETER OF SQUARE =PERIMETER OF RECTANGLE=56cm

Let the breadth of rectangle be x.Then,the length will be (6+x).A.T.Q.,

2(6+x+x)=56

=>12+2x+2x=56

=>4x=56‐12

=>x=44/4

=>x=11

THEREFORE,Length of the rectangle=11+6=17cm

Option A is correct.
