Question

The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:

Answer 1

let the breadth be x
then length will be 23+x. (as the difference between the length and breadth is 23)
given perimeter= 206
so,
2(x+23+x)=206
4x+46=206
4x=206-46
4x=160
x=160/40
x=4(breadth)
length=23+4=27
area= 27(4)=108
