Question

The perimeter of the rectangle of length 28 cm and breadth 20cm os equal to the perimeter of a square . What is the length of the side of the square?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2(l+b) = 4x

where x is side of square

l = length

b = breadth

so

2(28+20) = 4x

x = 24

24 is the answer

Answer 2

The length of the side of the square = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of the rectangle(l) = 28 cm and

The breadth of the rectangle(b) = 20 cm

To find, the length of the side of the square = ?

We know that,

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)

= 2(28 cm + 20 cm)

= 96 cm

According to question,

The perimeter of a square = The perimeter of the rectangle

⇒ 4 × the length of the side of the square = 96 cm

⇒ The length of the side of the square = 24 cm

Hence, the length of the side of the square = 24 cm
