17. The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio of 5 : 4. If its perimeter is 144 cm,
then its length is
bi
a) 40 cm
b) 20 cm
c) 30 cm
d) 60 cm
What is the answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Length = 5x

Breadth = 4x

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

=> 144 = 2(5x + 4x)

=> 144 = 2(9x)

=> 144 = 18x

=> 144/18 = x

=> 8 = x

Therefore,

Length = 5x = 5(8) = 40 cm
