Question

Awire is in the shape of a rectangle.
Its length is 40 cm and breadth is 22
cm. If the
same wire is rebent in the shape of a
square, what will be the measure of
each side.
Also find which shape encloses more
area?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle =perimeter of square

Perimeter of rectangle =2(l+b )=

=124cm

Perimeter of square=4*side

124=4*s

124/4=s

31cm =side

area of rectangle =l*b

=40*22

=880cm2

Area of square = s*s

=31*31

=961cm2

Hence , square encloses more area
