If the diagonal of a rectangle is $17\ cm$ long and its perimeter is $46\ cm$, the area of the rectangle is:
  • A
    $100 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • B
    $110 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • $120 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • D
    $150 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$120 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Perimeter $= 46\ cm$

$=\text{l + b}=\frac{46}{2}=23\text{ cm}$
and $ \mathrm{l}^2+\mathrm{b}^2=17^2=289$
Now $(\mathrm{l}+\mathrm{b})^2=(23)^2$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{l}^2+\mathrm{b}^2+2 \mathrm{l} b=529$
$\Rightarrow 289+2 \mathrm{lb}=529$
$\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{lb}=529-289$
$\Rightarrow 21 \mathrm{~b}=240 $
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{lb}$
$=\frac{240}{2}=120$
Now area of rectangle $=\mathrm{lb}=120\  \mathrm{ cm}^2$
