Question

A wire is in the shape of a square if side 20cm .if the wire is rebent into a rectangle of length 22cm ,find its breadth which figure encloses more area square and rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle

perimeter of square = 20× 4

= 80 cm

• length of rectangle = 22 cm
• since opposite sides of a rectangle are equal another side is also 22cm
• let breadth be X cm
• 2X + 22+22=80
• 2X+44=80
• 2X=80-44
• 2X=36
• X=36/2
• X=18 cm

hence breadth is 18 cm
