the length and the breadth of a rectangle are 40 cm and 10cm respectively find the perimeter of a square of area equal to that of the rectangle
Answers
In case of rectangle,
Length = 40 cm
Breadth = 10 cm
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
Area of rectangle = ( 40 × 10 )
now,
area of square = area of rectangle [Given]
area of square = 400
Length of Side of square = √area
Length of Side of square = √400
Length of side of square = 20 cm
Required Answer : 20 cm
AnswEr :
›»› The perimeter of a square is 80 cm.
Given :
- Length of a rectangle = 40 cm.
- Breadth of a rectangle = 10 cm.
- Area of square = Area of rectangle.
To Find :
- Perimeter of a square = ?
Solution :
Let us assume that, the side of a square is x cm.
As we know that
→ Area of square = side * side.
→ Area of rectangle = length * breadth.
According to the given question,
→ Area of square = Area of rectangle
→ side * side = length * breadth
→ x * x = 40 * 10
→ x² = 40 * 10
→ x² = 400
→ x = √400
→ x = 20
∴ The side of square is 20 cm.
Now,
As we know that
→ Perimeter of square = 4 * side
→ Perimeter of square = 4 * 20
→ Perimeter of square = 80
