Question

area of a rectangle and a square are equal if the length of a rectangle is 16 cm and breadth is 9 cm find the length of the side of the square​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of rectangle = area of square

Area of rectangle = length  x breadth = 16 x 9 = 144 cm^2

therefore, area of square = 144 cm^2 = side^2

side = √144 = 12 cm

length of side of square = 12 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of the side of square is 12cm.

Explanation:

• In context to the given question, we have to find the length of the square for the providing condition,
• Given,

Length of rectangle = 16 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 9 cm

It is also given that;

Area of rectangle = Area of square

we know that;

Area of rectangle = length x breadth

⇒ 16 x 9 =   144cm²

therefore by  the given condition ;

Area of square is also 144cm²

Area of square = 144cm²

(length)² = 144cm²

(length)² = √144

length= √144 = 12cm

length = 12cm

∴Length of the side of square is 12cm
