Equations And Inequalities Question 5

Question: The area and perimeter of a rectangle are A and P respectively. Then P and A satisfy the inequality.

Options:

A) $ P+A>PA $

B) $ P^{2}\le A $

C) $ A-P<2 $

D) $ P^{2}\ge 16A $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • [d] Let x be the length and y be the breadth of a rectangle. $ A=xy,,P=2(x+y) $ Since $ {{(x+y)}^{2}}\ge 4xy $
    $ \Rightarrow {{( \frac{P}{2} )}^{2}}\ge 4A\Rightarrow P^{2}\ge 16A. $
