  • Question
  • The perimeter of a rectangle having area equal to 144 cm 2 and sides in the ratio 4 : 9 is


  • Options
  • A. 52 cm
  • B. 56 cm
  • C. 60 cm
  • D. 64 cm

  • Correct Answer
  • 52 cm 

    Explanation

    Let l = 4k and b = 9k
    Area of rectangle = l x b
    144 = 4k x 9k
    ? k2 = 144/36
    ? k2 = 4
    ? k = 2
    ? l = 8 cm and b = 18 cm

    Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
    = 2(8 + 18)
    = 2 x 26
    = 52 cm
