Question

.A wire is in the shape of square of side 24 cm. If the wire is bent into a

Rectangle of length 32 cm , find its breadth.​

Answer 1

perimeterofsquare4×sides=4×20=8

Perimeterofrectanglewireis80cm

2(x+b)=80

⇒24+b=40

(breadth)b=40−24=16cm

Answer 2

Answer:

16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length of wire = perimeter of square = 4×24cm = 96cm

perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(32 +b)

=> 96 = 2×32 + 2b

=> 96 - 64 = 2b

=> 32/2= b= 16cm
