Question:The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth and one of its diagonals measure `10sqrt(5)` cm. The perimeter of the rectangle is :
A `60 cm`
B `50 cm`
C `250 cm`
D None
/98
+ Answer
A
+ ExplanationLet breadth = x cm and length = 2x cm. Then,
`x^2 + (2x)^2`
`= (10sqrt(5)^2 or 5x^2`
`= 500 or x^2`
`= 100 or x = 10`
:. perimeter` = 2 (2x + x) cm`
`= 6x cm = 60 cm.`
