Question

8. Two plots of land have same perimeter. One is a square of side 40 m, while the other is a rectangle of breadth 25 m, Which plot is larger and by how much

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that

perimeter of square is equal to perimeter of rectangle.And side of square is 40m,

Breadth of rectangle is 25m..

Step-by-step explanation:

A/Q

2(l+b)=4*side

2(l+25)=4*40

l+25=160/2

l=80-25

l=55m

Therefore

Area of rectangular plot is 55*25=1375m

Area of square is 40*40=1600m

Difference between them (1600-1375)=225m

so Area of square is more than of rectangle by 225m
