Question

Ahmad used a 60 cm long piece of wire to make a square and a rectangle
as shown alongside.
What is the length of one side of the squarre?
length of 10cm and breadth 6cm
​

Answer 1

Answer:

perimeter of the rectangle=2(10+6)

=32cm

perimeter of the square is same as rectangle

so,

side of square=32/4

=8cm

Answer 2

The length of one side of the square is 7 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ahmad used long piece of wire to make a square and a rectangle.

The length and breadth of rectangle are given  = 10 cm × 6 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

                                            = 2(10 + 6)

                                            = 2(16)

                                            = 32 cm

He used 32 cm to make a rectangle.

Remaining wire = 60 - 32 = 28 cm

Perimeter of square = 4 × side

Let the side of the square = s

P = 4 × s

28 = 4s

s = $\frac{28}{4}$

s = 7 cm

The length of one side of the square is 7 centimeters.
