Question

The area of a rectangular sheet of metal is 135 square inches. The perimeter is 48 inches. What are the dimensions of the sheet?

Answer 1

Answer: The length is 15 inches and breadth is 9 inches

Explanation:

Given : Area of rectangular sheet = 135 square inches

Perimeter of rectangular sheet = 48 square inches

Now Area of rectangular sheet =
`Length* Breadth` = 135 square inches

perimeter of rectangular sheet =
`2* (Length+Breadth)` = 48 square inches

Thus
`(Length+Breadth)` = 24 square inches

Thus Length = 15 inches

Breadth = 9 inches
