Question

The area of square paper is 576 sq.cm. If paper is cut horizontally in the congratulations. Find the length and breadth of a rectangle formed

Answer 1

Firstly the figure is a square , so all of the sides should be equal

Let x be the length of one of the side,

Area=x²

Now,

x² = 576

x=√576

x=24

Now,

When the the square of length 24 m is cut through the center,

Length of the side formed = 12 m

So,

One of the side length will be 12 m and the other will be 24 m

Hence,

Two rectangles of length 24 m and breadth 12 m will be formed

Answer 2

Given conditions ⇒

Length of the Square = ?

Area of the Square = 576 cm².

∴ Length of the square = √576 = 24 cm.

Now, If it will cut from middle its breadth will remains the same. But its length becomes half of its. Also, 2 Rectangle will be formed after cutting it from the middle.

∴ Breadth of the new Rectangle = 24 cm.

∴ Length of the Rectangle= 1/2 × 24 = 12 cm.

Dimension of both the Rectangle will be same since the square is cut from the middle.

Hope it helps.
