Answer 1

Answer:

12 cm is length of side of square.

144 cm^2 is area of square.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) Side of the square = 12 cm

b) Area of the square = 144 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation :

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + b )

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (  16 + 8 )

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( 24 )

Perimeter of rectangle = 48 cm

As per given in the question :-

Perimeter of rectangle = Perimeter of square

.*. Perimeter of square = 48 cm

a) Side of square = Perimeter / 4       [Since a sqaure has four sides]

   Side = 48 / 4 = 12 cm

   Side = 12 cm

b) Area of square = Side x side

   Area = 12 x 12 = 144 cm^2

   Area = 144 cm^2
