Question

The area of the given rectangle is 60 sq. m and its longer side is 10 m, the perimeter of the rectangle is ______.

Options

• 16 m

• 22 m

• 32 m

• 26 m

Answer 1

The area of the given rectangle is 60 sq. m and its longer side is 10 m, the perimeter of the rectangle is 32 m.

Explanation:

Given length of rectangle = 10 m

And area of rectangle = 60 sq. m

`\implies` Length × Breadth = 60 sq. m

`\implies` Breadth = `60/"Length"` = `60/10` = 6 m

∴ Perimeter of rectangle

= 2(Length + Breadth)

= 2(10 + 6) m

= 2 × 16 m

= 32 m
