Step-by-step explanation:
Answer :
1) Breadth of Rectangle is 8cm and
2) square encloses more area by 4cm²
Step-by-step Explanation :
Given : Side of the square : 10 cm
Length of the Rectangle : 12 cm
To find : breadth of the Rectangle = ?
Side of the square is 10cm
Hence, Perimeter of the square = 4 x 10 = 40cm = Length of the wire.
When wire is re-bend to make a rectangle,
Length of the rectangle is 12cm
Let the breadth of the rectangle be 'b'
Thus, the perimeter of both the rectangle and the square is same since the square is stretched to make a
rectangle.
We know that the Perimeter of rectangle
= 2(l + b)
= 2(12 +b)
40 = 24 + 2b
2b = 40 – 24
2b = 16
b= 8cm
Area of enclosed by the square,
= ( side )² = 10 x 10 = 100cm²
Area enclosed by the rectangle,
= ( length ) × ( breadth ) = 12 x 8 = 96cm
Thus, Difference in their area = (100 – 96)cm² = 4cm?
Hence, the square encloses more area by 4cm²
