Chapter 11: Q10. (page 426)

The base of a rectangle is 40cmand perimeter is100cm. What is the area and height of the rectangle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The area of the rectangle is $400 c m^{2}$ and height is10cm .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

Base of the rectangle $b = 40 c m$

Perimeter of the rectangle $P = 100 c m$ .

Step 2. Concept Used.

If b is the base of the reactangle and h is the height of the rectangle.

Then, the area of the rectangle is $A = b 脳 h$

Perimeter of the rectangle is

$P = 2 (b + h)$

Step 3. Let’s calculate the area & height of the rectangle.

Put the value of perimeter and base into the formula and find the height.

Height of the rectangle :

$\begin{matrix} P = 2 (b + h) \\ 100 = 2 (40 + h) \\ 50 = 40 + h \\ h = 50 鈭� 40 \\ h = 10 c m \end{matrix}$

Area of the rectangle:

$\begin{matrix} A = b 脳 h \\ = 40 脳 10 \\ = 400 c m^{2} \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is $400 c m^{2}$ and height is 10cm
