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

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