Question

A rectangle is 16m by 4m. Find a side of the square whose area equals the area of the rectangle. By how much does the perimeter of the rectangle exceeds the perimeter of the square?

Answer 1

Side of square = 8m

perimeter of Rectangle exceeds perimeter of square by 8m

Step-by-step explanation:

let area of square be x^2

and take x^2=16*4

x^2=64

x=√64

x=8

Side of square whose area equals the area of rectangle =8m

Perimeter of square =8*4 =32

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(16+4)= 40

Perimeter of Rectangle exceeds the perimeter of square by 8 meters
