Question

A rectangle and a square are equal in area. Will their perimeter be equal? If the
length and breadth of the rectangle are 16 m and 4 m respectively, verify your
answer. Also, find the side of the square.​

Answer 1

Answer:

16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let side of square be 5cm

Area of rectangle =32×8

Area of square=s

s² = 32×8

s² = 2⁸

s=2⁴

=16cm

Difference of the perimeters =2(32+8)−4×16

=80−64

=16cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Let side of square be 5cm

Area of rectangle =32×8

Area of square=s
