Question

Find the approximate length of the side of a square whose area is equal to the area of a rectangle with sides 16 metres and 15 metres

Answer 1

it'll be approximately 15.5 m.

Answer 2

Answer : The length of the side of a square is 15.49 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sides of a rectangle = 16m and 15m

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

=> 16 x 15 = 240 m

So, Area of a rectangle is 240 m^2

Given : Area of a square is equal to area of rectangle.

Area of a square is 240 m^2

Finding the side of a square :-

Area of a square = side x side

240 = side x side

240 = side^2

Side = √240

Side = 15.49

Hence, The length of the side of a square is 15.49 metres
