Question

Mr Ranganathan had two gardens, one
rectangular in shape and the other one in
the shape of a square. If the perimeter of
both the gardens are same, find their
area?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter of Square  =  4  ×  side  = 4 ×  60 = 240  sq meters

Area of Square = Side²   = 60  2 = 3600  square meters

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

Or,  240 = 2 ( 80 +  breadth )

Or,  80 + breadth = 120

Or, breadth  = 120 − 80 = 40  meters

Area of rectangle = length x breadth  = 80 × 40 =  3200  square meters

Now it is clear that the area of the square field is greater than the area of the rectangular field.
