1. The length of a rectangle is 6 feet more than the side of a square and the width of the rectangle is 6 feet less than the side of that square. If the area of the square is 64 sq feet, what is the area of the rectangle?
- A. 20 sq feet
- B. 20 sq feet
- C. 20 sq feet
- D. 20 sq feet
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Side of the square = √64 = 8 feet
So, length of the rectangle = 8 + 6 = 14 feet
Width of the rectangle = 8 - 6 = 2 feet
So, the area of the rectangle = 14 x 2 = 28 square feet.
