Area of the square = 36 cm² (Given)
Find the length of the square:
Area = length²
length² = Area
length² = 36
length = √36
length = 6 cm
Find the perimeter of the square:
Perimeter = 4 x 6 = 24 cm
Find the perimeter of the rectangle:
Perimeter of the rectangle = Perimeter of the square
Perimeter of the rectangle = 24 cm
Define the length and breadth of the rectangle:
Let the breadth be x
The length is 2x
Form the equation:
Perimeter = 2(Length + breadth)
24 = 2( 2x + x)
24 = 2(3x)
24 = 6x
6x = 24
x = 4
Find the length and breadth of the rectangle:
breadth = x = 4 cm
length - 2x = 2(4) = 8 cm
Answer: The dimension of the rectangle is 4 cm by 8 cm
