16 cm x 12 cm and 20 cm x 15 cm in size
is equal to the perimeter of a larger square.
Find the side and area of the square.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the perimeters of 2 rectangles is 16cm × 12cm and 20cm × 15 cm in size is equal to the perimeter of a larger square. find the side and area of the square

Answer 2

Answer:

Sides of square = 31.5 cm

Area of square = 992.25 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the square = sum of perimeter of two rectangles.

Perimeter of the square = {2*(16+12) + 2*(20+15)}

4*side = (56+70)

4*side = 126

Side = 126/4

Side = 31.5 cm

Area of square = side * side

=31.5 * 31.5

= 992.25 sq. cm
