Answer:
perimeter of rectangle APQD = 80
Sidex and 2x
80=2(x+3x)
x +3x=40
4x=40
x=10
Hence the side of the square
=3x=30cm
Perimeteral the SQUARE ABCD
= 30x4=120cms
Given,
ABCD is a square.
PB = 2AP
The perimeter of rectangle APQD = 80 cm.
To find,
The perimeter of ABCD.
Solution,
We can easily solve this numerical problem by following the given steps.
Now,
PB = 2AP --- equation 1
ABCD is a square.
Then,
AB = BC = CD = AD
AB = AP + PB
AB = AP + 2AP ( Putting the value of PB from equation 1)
AB = 3 AP
Let's take the side AP to be x cm.
AB = 3x cm --- equation 2
The perimeter of rectangle APQD = 80 cm
2 (AD + AP) = 80 cm
AD + AP = 80/2
3x + x = 40 ( AD is equal to AB as the four sides of the square are equal)
4x = 40
x = 10 cm
Putting the value of x in equation 2, we get
AB = 3x
AB = 3 × 10
AB = 30 cm
The perimeter of square ABCD (P) = 4×Side
P = 4 × side
P = 4 × AB
P = 4 × 30
P = 120 cms
Hence, the perimeter of square ABCD in cms is 120 (option B).
