Answer 1

$\huge\colorbox{pink}{Question࿐ }$

A square and a rectangle have the same perimeter if the side of a square is 16 and the length of a rectangle is 18 the breadth of the rectangle is

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Solution:-}$

Given:

side of square: 16m length of rectangle: 18m

To find:

Breadth=?

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.
