Question

The lenght of one side rectangle is x cm the length of longer side is (X+4) cm if the rectangle has the peimeter of 48 cm find the area?

Answer 1

Answer: 140cm²

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as: = 2(length + width)

where,

Length = x+4

Width = x

Therefore, perimeter = 2(length + width)

2(x + x+4) = 48

2(2x + 4) = 48

4x + 8 = 48

4x = 48 - 8.

4x = 40

x = 40/4

x = 10cm

The other side = x+4 = 10+4 = 14cm

Area = length × width

Area = 10cm × 14cm

Area = 140cm²
