The breadth of a rectangle is ((x-2)) cm and length is (8) cm. If the perimeter is at least (40) cm, what is the solution for (x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x\ge 14)

The perimeter of a rectangle is \\(2(\text{length}+\text{breadth})\\). Here the length is 8 cm and the breadth is \\(x-2\\) cm. The phrase “at least 40 cm” means the perimeter may be 40 or greater, so the inequality sign is \\(\ge\\), not a strict greater-than sign.

Substitution gives \\(2(8+x-2)\ge40\\), so \\(2(x+6)\ge40\\). Dividing by 2 gives \\(x+6\ge20\\), and subtracting 6 gives \\(x\ge14\\). Therefore, option C is correct. The breadth condition also requires \\(x-2>0\\), which is automatically satisfied by \\(x\ge14\\). Option D would be too weak because values from 10 to 14 do not meet the perimeter requirement.
