Problema Solution

THE LENGTH OF A RECTANGLE IS DOUBLE ITS BREATH .OF THE PERIMETER OFTHE RECTANGLE IS 30CM ,FIND THE AREA OFTHE RECTANGLE

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'w' represent the width (breath) of the rectangle in cm, then '2w' represents it length in cm


perimeter = 2(length + width)


30 = 2(w + 2w)

15 = 3w

w = 5


2*5 = 10


the width is 5 cm, the length is 10 cm


area = length * width

area = 5 * 10 = 50


the area of the rectangle is 50 cm^2
