Answer:
450 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = length of rectangle and y = width of the rectangle.
Therefore,
2x + y = 60...............(1)
Making y subject of the formula, we have:
y = 60 - 2x............... (2)
We know area of a rectangle is length * width i.e A = x*y
Let's substitute (60-2x) for y,
A = x * (60-2x)
= 60x - 2(x)²
= -2x² + 60x
-4x + 60 = 0
-4x = -60
Let's substitute 15 for x in equation 2, we have:
y = 60 - 2(15)
= 60 - 30
y = 30
Since x = 15 & y = 30, the area would be:
A = xy
A = 15 * 30
A = 450 m²
