Question

A rectangular price tag has a cemeter of 30 centimeters, It's area is 54 square centimeters

What are the dimensions of the price tag

Answer 1

l = 9 inches and b = 6 inches.

Explanation:

Given that,

The perimeter of a rectangular price tag, P = 30 cm

The area of rectangular price tag, A = 54

We need to find the dimensions of the price tag.

The area of rectangle is given by :

A = lb

So,

54=lb ...(1)

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

So,

30=2(l+b)

15=(l+b) ...(2)

We need to solve equation (1) and (2) such that,

l = 9 inches and b = 6 inches.
