Question

Two fields have the same perimeter one is a square of sight 72meters and another is rectangle of length 80 meters which field has the greater area and by how much

Answer 1

Square field has greater area by no of meters.

Answer 2

P₁ = P ₂

4 * 72 = 2 ( 80 + b )

144 -80 =b

b= 64 m

A₁ = side* side = 72 * 72 = 5184 m²

A₂ = length * breadth = 80 * 64 = 5120 m²

A₁ > A₂

Square has greater area than rectangle
