Answer:
Length = 16 cm. Breadth = 9cm
Area = Length x Breadth = 16 cm x 9 cm = 144 cm2
Given that the area of the square is equal to the area of the rectangle. So let the side of the square be equal to A.
Area of square = A x A = A2
=> A^2= 144 cm2
:. A = √ 144 cm2 = 12 cm
Therefore, the side of the square is 12 cm
