Question

The length of rectangle is 120% that of the breadth. The perimeter is 88m. Find the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

2(w+1.2w) = 88
4.4w = 88
w = 20
so, area = 20(1.2*20) = 480

Answer 2

breadth --- x
length ---- 1.2x

2(x+1.2x) = 88
x+1.2x = 44
2.2x = 44
x = 20

area = x(1.2)x
= 1.2(20^2) = 480 m^2
