Question

A rectangle and a square are equal in area. The side of the square is 24 m. If the length of
the rectangle is 36 m, find the breadth of the rectangle. Comment on their perimeters.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of Square= 24 x 24=576 m²

Area of Square=Area of Rectangle

576m² = length x breadth

576m² = 36 x Breadth

576/36= Breadth

Breadth= 16 m

Perimeter of Rectangle= 2(l+b) = 2(36+16)= 2(52)= 104 m

Perimeter of Square= sidex4 = 24 x 4= 96 m
