The perimeter of a rectangle having area equal to \( \Large \Large 144 cm^{2} \) and sides in the ratio 4 : 9 is
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let l=4x and b = 9x
Area of rectangle = \( \Large l\times b \)
144=\( \Large 4x\times 9x \)=> \( \Large x^{2}=\frac{144}{36} \) => \( \Large x^{2} \)=4
x=2
l=8 cm and b=18 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (8 + 18)
= \( \Large 2\times 26 \) = 52 cm
