Correct Answer: 216 cm 2


Solution : Half of the perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm.
Let the length be $x$.
So, breadth = $x-6$
Total perimeter = 30 × 2
⇒ $2(x+x-6)=60$
⇒ $4x=72$
$\therefore x=18$
So, length = 18, breadth = 18 – 6 = 12
$\therefore$ Area of a rectangle = length × breadth = 18 × 12 = 216 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 216 cm 2 .
