Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: 432 sq.mts
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Standard perimeter-to-dimensions problem followed by area computation for a rectangle.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use P = 2(L + B) to find L + B, then substitute L = B + 6 to solve. Area = L * B.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Perimeter check: 2*(24+18) = 2*42 = 84 m. Correct.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
330, 333, 362, 384 do not equal 24*18 given the perimeter condition.
Common Pitfalls:
Forgetting to halve the perimeter or miscomputing 24*18 (it is 432).
Final Answer:
432 sq.mts
