Question

The area of a rectangle of length 16 m is same as that of a square of side 12 m. Find the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

:

Given :

Area of rectangle is equal to area of square

side of square is 16m

length of rectangle is 32m

We know that,

area of rectangle = length×breadth

and

area of square = (side)²

So,

=> length×breadth = (side)²

=> 32 × breadth = (16)²

=> 32 × breadth = 256

=> breadth = 256 ÷ 32

=> breadth = 8

breadth of the rectangle is 8m

Now,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

= 2(32 + 8)

= 2×40

= 80 m

Hence,

the perimeter of rectangle is 80m.
