Question

The area of a square is equal to the area of a rectangle of l = 8 cm and b = 2 cm.
What is the side of the square?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a square the length is equal to breadth.

Hence, area of a square = side × side

The number of 1 cm squares enclosed = 4

Area = 4 sq cm

4 = 2 × 2

Hence, area = side × side

The unit of sides and the corresponding units of areas as given below:

Unit of Side

Unit of Area

mm

square mm (sq mm) or mm2

cm

square cm (sq cm) or cm2

m

square m (sq m) or m2

km

square km (sq km) or km2

Note: Write finding the area of a given figure, make sure that the sides (length or breadth) are in the same unit of length. If they are given in different units, change them to the same unit.

Answer 2

Area of rectangle =l×b

=8×2=16cm^2

=area of square

=side square

=>side of square =4cm(√16)
