Question

    The length of the rectangle is triple its breadth. If

    the perimeter of the rectangle is 48 m, then find the area (in m2) of the rectangle.
    A 118 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 128 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 108 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 98 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the breadth of the rectangle = x, so the length of the rectangle = 3x Perimeter = 2(l + b) 48 = 2(x + 3x) 24 = 4x x = 6 Breadth = 6 m, Length = 18 m So the area of the rectangle = 6 × 18 = 108 m2
