Question

If the perimeter of a square is equal to that of a rectangle of dimensions 5 meter and 7 meter. Find the area of the square is?

Answer 1

Answer:

36 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

P(rectangle) = 2(5+7)

                    = 24 m²

P(square) = 24 m²

4 * side = 24

So, side = 6 m

∴ Area of square = side² = 36 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of square = 36 metre sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle having sides 5 meter and 7 metre.

perimeter of square = 2(5+7)

perimeter of square= 24 meter

side of square = perimeter / 4

side of square= 24/4 = 6 meter.

Area of square = side * side

Area of square = 6*6 = 36 metre square.
