    The length of a rectangle is twice the diameter of a circle. The circumference of the circle is numerically equal to the area of a square of side 22 cm. What is the breadth of the rectangle if its perimeter is 668 cm?

    Explanation

    Let the length and the breadth of the rectangle are l and b respectively. We know that, formulae: → Perimeter of a rectangle = (length + breadth) × 2 → Circumference of a circle = 2πr Where, r = radius of the circle Now, according to the question, 2(l + b) = 668 ∴ l +b=334 ∴ l = (334-b) And, length of the rectangle =Twice the diameter of the circle ⇒ 334 – b=2×d=2× 2r=4r ∴ r=(334–b)/4 Area of square =circumference of circle, ⇒ (22) 2 =2πr ⇒484=2×22(334−b)7×4∴334−b=484×7×42×22=308\Rightarrow {\rm{}}484 = \frac{{2 \times 22\left( {334 - b} \right)}}{{7 \times 4}}\therefore 334 - b = \frac{{484 \times 7 \times 4}}{{2 \times 22}} = 308 ∴ b=334 – 308=26cm. Hence, the required answer is 26 cm.
