Question

Find the length of the side of a square playground whose area is equal to area of rectangular field of dimensions 72m×338m.

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle =  Length x Width

                               

Area of the rectangle = 72 x 338

                                  = 24336cm²



If the sides of the square =  x


Area of square =  x*x = x²



Area of square = Area of rectangle



                 x²  = 24336



Find the square root of both sides


               x  = 156



The sides of the square = 156cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width

Area of the rectangle = 72 x 338

= 24336cm²

If the sides of the square = x

Area of square = x*x = x²

Area of square = Area of rectangle

x² = 24336

Find the square root of both sides

x = 156

The sides of the square = 156cm
