  • Question
  • The area of rectangle whose length is 5 more than twice its width is 75 sq units. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?


  • Options
  • A. 40 unit
  • B. 30 unit
  • C. 24 unit
  • D. 20 unit

  • Correct Answer
  • 40 unit 

    Explanation

    Let the width of the rectangle = k units
    ? Length = (2k + 5) units.

    According to the question,
    Area = k(2k + 5)
    ? 75 = 2k2 + 5k
    ? 2k2 + 5k - 75 = 0
    ? 2k2 + 15k - 10k - 75 = 0
    ? k(2k + 15) - 5(2k + 15) = 0
    ? (2k + 15) (k - 5) = 0
    ? k = 5 and -15/2
    Width cannot be negative.
    ? Width = 5 units
    ? Length = 2x + 5 = 2 x 5 + 5 = 15 unit

    ? perimeter of the rectangle = 2(15 + 5)
    = 40 units
