A rectangle has a perimeter of 176 inches. The length of the rectangle is 8 inches more than its width. What is the area of the rectangle?	Choose one.
A) 1,408 square inches	B) 1,920 square inches	C) 1,936 square inches	D) 2,304 square inches	E) none of these

Rationale: explanation : we have : ( l - b ) = 8 and 2 ( l + b ) = 176 or ( l + b ) = 88 . solving the two equations , we get : l = 48 and b = 40 . area = ( l x b ) = ( 48 x 40 ) in 2 = 1920 in 2 . correct answer : b
Answer: B
