Question

the ratio of the areas of a square and a rectangle of length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm is 4 : 3. the side of the square will be​

Answer 1

$\sf Given \begin{cases} & \sf{Length\:of\:rectangle = \bf{4\:cm}} \\ & \sf{Breadth\:of\:rectangle = \bf{3\:cm}} \\ & \sf{Area_{\;(square)} : Area_{\:(rectangle)} = \bf{4:3}} \end{cases}$

To find: Length of side of square?

⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⋆ Perimeter of Rectangle is given by,

$\star\;{\boxed{\sf{\pink{Area_{\;(rectangle)} = Length \times Breadth}}}}$

$:\implies\sf Area_{\;(rectangle)} = l \times b$

Here,

• l = 4 cm
• b = 3 cm

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies\sf Area_{\;(rectangle)} = 4 \times 3\\ \\ \\ :\implies{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{Area_{\;(rectangle)} = 12\:cm^2}}}}}\;\bigstar$

$\therefore\:{\underline{\sf{Area\:of\:rectangle\:is\: \bf{12\:cm^2}.}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☯ Let length of sides of square be x cm.

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\underline{\bigstar\:\boldsymbol{According\:to\:the\:question\::}}$

• $\sf Area\:of\:square : Area\:of\:rectangle = 4:3$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies\sf (side \times side) : (length \times breadth) = 4 : 3\\ \\ \\:\implies\sf x^2 : 12 = 4 : 3\\ \\ \\:\implies\sf \dfrac{x^2}{12} = \dfrac{4}{3}\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf x^2 = \dfrac{4}{3} \times 12\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf x^2 = \cancel{\dfrac{48}{3}}\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf x^2 = 16\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf \sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{16}\\ \\ \\ :\implies\sf x = \sqrt{16}\\ \\ \\ :\implies{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{x = 4}}}}}\;\bigstar$

$\therefore\:{\underline{\sf{Thus,\:the\; length\:of\:sides\:of\:square\:is\: {\textsf{\textbf{4\:cm}}}.}}}$

$\qquad\qquad\boxed{\underline{\underline{\pink{\bigstar \: \bf\:More\:to\:know\:\bigstar}}}}$

• $\sf Perimeter\:of\:rectangle = \bf{2(length + breadth)}$

• $\sf Diagonal\:of\:rectangle = \bf{\sqrt{(length)^2 + (breadth)^2}}$

• $\sf Perimeter\:of\:square = \bf{4 \times side}$

• $\sf Diagonal\:of\:square = \bf{\sqrt{2} \times side}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• The ratio of the areas of a square and the area of a rectangle is 4 : 3. The length and breadth of a rectangle is 4 cm and 3 cm respectively.

To Find :-

• What is the side of a square.

Solution :-

First we have to find the area of rectangle and area of a square,

We know that,

★ Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth ★

Given :

• Length = 4 cm
• Breadth = 3 cm

According to the question by using the formula we get,

↦ Area of rectangle = 4 cm × 3 cm

➠ Area of rectangle = 12 cm

Now, we have to find the area of square,

We know that,

✰ Area of square = side × side ✰

Let, the side of a square be

Then,

⇒ Area of square = x × x

➦ Area of square = x²

Given that,

• Ratio of area of square and the area of a rectangle is 4 : 3.

Now, according to the question,

⇒ x² : 12 = 4 : 3

⇒ x²/12 = 4/3

By doing cross multiplication we get,

⇒ 3x² = 12 × 4

⇒ 3x² = 48

⇒ x² = 48/3

⇒ x² = 16

⇒ x = √16

➥ x = 4

∴ The side of a square is 4 cm .
