Question

The perimeter of rectangle and a square are equal. What shape will have a graeter area.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Any rectangle will always have more of these blocks exposed to the outside than a square of the same area. This proves that a rectangle will always have a larger perimeter than a square with the same area.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In rectangle, let one side be of 2 cm and other side be of 4 cm.

Therefore, Perimeter of Rectangle=2(2+4)=12cm

Area=2×4=8cm^2

Perimeter is same.

Therefore perimeter of square=12cm

Perimeter of square = 4×side

Therefore, Side=Perimeter÷4

=12÷4=3cm

Area of square=side^2

=3×3=9cm^2

9cm^2>8cm^2

Therefore, square will have greater area.
