Question

5. Awire is in the shape of a square of side 20 cm. If the
wire is rebent into a rectangle of length 22 cm, find its
breadth. Which encloses more area the square or the
rectangle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

perimeter of square=4×20=80

perimeter of rectangle=2(22+x)

as wire is same so perimeters are equal

2(22+x)=80

(22+x)=80/2

(22+x)=40

x=40-22

x=18

breadth=18

area of square=20^2=400

area of rectangle=22×18=396

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore area of square is more than rectangle
