If the perimeter of a rectangular garden plot is 34 feet and its area is 60 square feet, what is the length of each of the longer sides?

A 5 feet
B 6 feet
C 10 feet
D 12 feet

Correct Answer: 12 feet

Let the length be L and Breadth be B. Given Perimeter 2(L + B) = 34 - - - - - > Thus L + B = 17 LB = 60 - - - - - - > We can solve the equation but the best way will be to plugin. Note that A and B can be ruled out because the other side will be smaller. So the options are between C and D. Let L be 10 Ft then B = 7 ft and Area is 70 which is not true Let L be 12ft then B = 5 ft and Area is 60 - - - - - > Bingo...what we need.
