Question

. A wire is in the shape of a square whose side is 30cm. If the wire is rebent into a rectangle of length 24cm, find its breadth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of square L=20cm

Length of rectangle l=24cm

Breadth of rectangle b=?

Now, perimeter of square=perimeter of rectangle

⇒4(L)=2(l+b)

⇒4(20)=2(24+b)

⇒

2

80

=24+b

⇒40=24+b

⇒16=b.

Breadth of rectangle b=16 cm
