Question

perimeter of square and rectangle are equal. the length and breadth of rectangle are 32cm and 50 cm. find which figure is greater.

Answer 1

First , calculate the perimeter i.e
2(32 +50) cm = 2*82 cm = 164 cm.
As it is given perimeter of square and rectangle are same.
So, Side of square = 164/4 = 41 cm.
Now, Area of square = 41*41= 1681 cm^2.
And, area of rectangle = 32*50 = 1600 cm^2.
which gives square is greater.
