Question

1. A rectangle is cut into two equal squares. If the perimeter of the square is 76 cm, find the perimeter of the rectangle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

116 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle is cut into two equal squares, it means 'length of rectangle = 2 * length of side of square'  and  'breadth = side of square'

Perimeter of square = 4 side

                 ⇒  76 cm  = 4 side

                 ⇒  19 cm = side

Hence,

Length of rectangle = 2*19 = 38 cm

breadth of rectangle = 19 cm

       ∴ Perimeter = 2(l + b)

                            = 2(39cm + 19cm)

                            = 2(58cm)

                            = 116 cm

Answer 2

Given :-

• A rectangle is cut into two equal squares.
• The perimeter of a square¹ = 76 cm = The perimeter of square ²

To Find :-

• The perimeter of rectangle ( two equal squares )

Explanation :-

• perimeter of square = 4 × l
• 76 = 4 × l
• 76/4 = l
• L = 19 cm

• for breadth of rectangle = L (square) + L(square)
• = 19 + 19
• B = 38 cm

_______________________

• perimeter of rectangle = 2( L + B )
• = 2(19 + 38)

• perimeter of rectangle = 114 cm
