Question

52 44. A square and a rectangle have the same perimeter. If the side of the square is 16 m and the length of the rectangle is 18 m, the breadth of the rectangle is: A. 14 m B. 15 m C. 16 m D. 17 m after​

Answer 1

Answer:

14 m is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Perimeter of the square = S×4

= 16×4 = 64 m

As the square and the rectangle have the same perimeter, the perimeter of the rectangle is 64 m.

Breadth =

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l+b)

64 = 2(18+b)

64 = 36+2b

64-36 = 2b

28 = 2b

28/2 = b

14 = b

Hence, the breadth of the rectangle is 14 m.
