Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle = Perimeter of the square = 84 cm

Assumption 1: Let the length (l) of the rectangle be x cm.

So, breadth (b) = 1.5x cm

Perimeter = 2×(l + b)

=> 84 = 2(x + 1.5x)

=> 84/2 = 2.5x

=> 42/2.5 = x

=> 16.8 = x

So,

length = x cm = 16.8 cm

breadth = 1.5x cm = 1.5 × 16.8 cm = 25.2 cm

Assumption 2: Let the sides of the square be a cm each.

Perimeter = 4 × side

=> 84 = 4a

=> 21 = a

Side of the square = a cm = 21 cm

Area of the square = 21 × 21 cm² = 441 cm²

Area of the rectangle = 16.8 × 25.2 cm² = 423.36 cm²

Ratio of area of the rectangle to area of the square =

423.36 cm² : 441 cm²

= 24:25

Difference between area of the rectangle and area of the square = 441 - 423.36 cm²

= 17.64 cm²
