if a rectangle has a perimeter of 14, then its area is 10. responses a rectangle with sides measuring 1 and 2 a rectangle with sides measuring 1 and 2 a rectangle with sides measuring 4 and 3 a rectangle with sides measuring 4 and 3 a rectangle with sides measuring 5 and 2 a rectangle with sides measuring 5 and 2 a rectangle with sides measuring 3 and 5



Answer :

A correct option is an option (c) with a rectangle with sides measuring 5 and 2 and a rectangle with sides measuring 2 and 5.

Given :

If a rectangle has a perimeter of 14.

i.e. Perimeter = 14cm

Area of rectangle = 10[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

Assume, Length = L and breadth = B

14 = 2(L+B)

L+B = 7cm

L = 7-B .... (1)

The formula for the area of the rectangle = Length x Breadth

10 = L x B ..... (2)

Putting the value of L from equation (1) into (2). We get,

10 = (7-B) x B

10 = 7B - [tex]B^{2}[/tex]

[tex]B^{2}[/tex] -7B + 10 = 0

B(B-5) -2(B-5) = 0

(B-5) (B-2) = 0

So, B = 5, B =2

Putting this value of B in (1) we get,

L = 5 at B =2 and L=2 at B=5.

So, the one side (L=5) at another side (B=2) and the one side (L=2)at another side (B=5) is the correct option.
