Answers
The wire was in the form of a rectangle
Perimeter of rectangle
We know that the perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( l + b )
= 2 ( 22 + 40 )
= 2 × 62
= 124
Perimeter of square
We know that perimeter of square = 4 a
Perimeter of square is = perimeter of rectangle
==> 4 a = 124
==> a = 124/4
==> a = 31
The side is 31 cm
Area of rectangle
Area = l × b
= 40 cm × 22 cm
= 880 cm²
Area of square
Area of square = a²
= (31 cm)²
= 961 cm²
Hence square encloses more area
Answer
- The side of square is 31 cm
- The square encloses more area
Hope it helps
