Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the rectangle = 25cm
breadth of the rectangle = 17cm
perimeter of the rectangle = 2( l+b )
= 2 x 25+17
= 2 x 42
= 84 cm
perimeter of the square = 84 cm
side of the square = p/4
= 84 / 4
= 21 cm
area of the rectangle = l x b
=25 x 17
= 425 cm^2
area of square = s x s
= 21 x 21
= 441 cm^2
therefore square has a greater area by 16 cm^2
