Question

a square and a rectangle have the same perimeter. if the side of the square is 16m and the rectangle is18m the breadth of the rectangle is​

Answer 1

Answer:b=14m

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-Given: side of square: 16m length of rectangle: 18m

To find: breadth

Solutions:

So now, we know the side of the square so we can find the perimeter if square.

Formula for perimeter of square is : 4(side)

            4(16)= 64 m

So the perimeter of the rectangle is also 64 m as mentioned in question.

So the formula for perimeter of rectangle is:

                2(l+b)

Putting value of length and equating it with perimeter of square, we get:

                2(l+b)=64

                2(18+ b)=64

                18+b=32

                b=14 m

Answer:

               Hence the breadth of the rectangle is 14 m.
