Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 180 cm2

Given:

The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle = 5 : 4

The perimeter of the rectangle = 54 cm

Formula Used:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (l + b)

Area of rectangle = lb

Calculations:

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 5x and 4x respectively.

The perimeter of the rectangle = 54 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (l + b)

⇒ 2 × (5x + 4x) = 54

⇒ 9x = 27

⇒ x = 3 cm

Now, Length of the rectangle = 5 × 3 = 15 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 4 × 3 = 12 cm

Area of the rectangle = 15 × 12

⇒ Area of the rectangle = 180 cm2

∴ The area of rectangle is 180 cm2.
