Question

Two plots of land have the same perimeter .One is a square with a side of 60 m, while the other is a rectangle whose breadth is 12m Which of the land has a greater area and by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

Square shaped plot of land; larger by 2304cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Square shaped land area: 60 x 60= 3600cm2

Perimeter : 60 x 4= 240cm

Length of rectangle shaped land: 240- 12 - 12= 216 cm

216 divide by 2= 108cm

Rectangle shaped land area: l x b= 108 x 12= 1296 cm2

Compare both areas, square shaped land area is larger.

3600-1296= 2304 cm2.
