Question

The square shown above has been divided into four rectangles. If the length of each of the segments in the diagram is an integer, and the areas of two rectangles are 144 cm² and 96 cm (as shown), then find the area of the original square
​

Answer 1

Given:- (A) Area of a square=144 square cm.

Find:- Perimeter of square (P)=?

Solution:-

Area (A)=length×width

Because all sides are of same size of a square

So side (S) of a square= √144

S(one side of square)=12 cm

Now perimeter (P)= 4×s

P= 4×12

P(Perimeter of square)=48 cm. Answer
