Question

a wire is in the shape of a square of side 10 cm. If the wire is rebent into a rectangle of length 12 cm, find its breadth. Which figure encloses more area and by how much

Answer 1

The total length of wire will be 10 x 4=40cm.
The perimeter of square=perimeter of rectangle
2(l+b)=40
2(12+b)=40
24+2b=40
2b=16
b=8
The breadth of rectangle will be 8 cm.
The square encloses more area i.e. 100cm^2.

Answer 2

$\huge \purple {AnsWer}$

Side of a square = 10cm

⠀⠀⠀Perimeter of square = 4 × S

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 4 × 10 = 40cm².

Perimeter of sq. = Perimeter of rectangle =40cm²

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( L + B )

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀40 = 2 ( 12 + B )

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀40 = 24 + 2B

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀40 - 24 = 2B

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀B = $\frac{16}{2}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀B = 8cm.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Area of sq. = S × S

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= ( 10 × 10 ) cm²

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 100 cm²

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Area of rectangle = ( L × B ) sq. unit

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = ( 12 × 8 ) cm²

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ = 96 cm².

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Square has encloned more area by 4cm² .
