The length of a rectangular notice board is 15 cm more than its breadth, and its area is 250 square cm. What is the breadth of the board?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10 cm

Let the breadth of the board be \(x\) cm. Its length will then be \(x+15\) cm. Using the area, \(x(x+15)=250\), so \(x^2+15x-250=0\). Factoring gives \((x-10)(x+25)=0\), so \(x=10\) or \(x=-25\). Since a dimension cannot be negative, the breadth is 10 cm. Check: \(10\times25=250\) square cm. Exam tip: In rectangle word problems, assign \(x\) to one side first and form the area equation before solving.
