Question

A rectangle of length 28 m long and 16 m broad. If the perimeter of the
rectangle and a square are the same, then find the side of the square.

Answer 1

Length of Rectangle = 28 m

Breadth of Rectangle = 16 m

• Perimeter of rectangle = Perimeter of square =

• 2 ( length + breadth )

• 2 ( 28 + 16 ) = 88 m

Now , perimeter of square = 4 × side = 88 m

=> side of rectangle = 88/4 = 22 m

• Side of square = 22 m

Answer 2

Answer:

perimeter of rectangle=perimeter of square

2(l+b) = 4*side

2(28+16)=4*side

44=2*side

side=22 m
