The length of the rectangular sheet of paper is 24 cm more than the breadth, and the perimeter of the rectangular sheet is 128 cm. Find the length of the rectangular sheet.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 44 cm.
Let the breadth of the rectangular sheet of paper = b cm
Length (l) = (b + 24) cm
2[(b + 24) + b] = 128
⇒ 2b + 24 = 64
⇒ 2b = 40
⇒ b = 20
⇒ l = b + 24 = 20 + 24 = 44
Therefore, the length of the rectangular sheet is 44 cm.
