A rectangular garden has length 12 m more than its breadth and area 448 m². What is its breadth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 16 m

The governing concept is applying the rectangle area formula to form a quadratic equation. Let the breadth be x metres. Then the length is x + 12 metres, and area = length × breadth gives x(x + 12) = 448. Thus x² + 12x − 448 = 0. Factoring gives (x + 28)(x − 16) = 0, so x = −28 or x = 16. A dimension cannot be negative, so the breadth is 16 m. The corresponding length is 28 m, and 16 × 28 = 448 confirms the result. Therefore option B is correct. The other options do not produce area 448 when their corresponding length is 12 m greater.
