Question

The length of the rectangle is 6 cm more than its breath. If the perimeter of the rectangle

is 308 cm, find the area of the rectangle

A) 6000 cm2

B) 5960 cm2

C) 5920 cm2

D) 5880 cm2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us begin by knowing the lengths of the sides of the rectangle. Since the length is 6 cm more than the width, let the width be represented by x, so using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle 2L+2W=P

2(6+x)+2x=308

(12+2x)+2x=308

12+4x=308

4x=308−12

4x=296

x=74 cm , so L=80 cm .

To determine the area of a rectangle: A=L×W.

So A=74×80

A=5920 cm2
