Question 30 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 centimeters. The base is 2 times the height. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer
A
h = 9cm, b = 18 cm
B
h = 19 cm, b = 38 cm
C
h = 10 cm, b = 20 cm
D
h = 10 cm, b = 15 cm

Explanation

The perimeter is 2(h + b) = 60, so h + b = 30. Since the base is twice the height, b = 2h; therefore 3h = 30, giving h = 10 cm and b = 20 cm. The correct choice is h = 10 cm, b = 20 cm.
