Question

two plots of land have the same perimeter.one is a square of side 64m and the other is a rectangle of length 70m.Find the breath of the rectangular plots.which plot has the greater area and by how much?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of square =4×side

Perimeter=4×64=256m

Area of square plot=side×side

Area=64×64

=4096m sq

Perimeter of square=perimeter of rectangle

Perimeter of rectangle=2×(length+breadth)

Let the breadth be=x

2×(70+x)=256

70+x=256÷2

x=128-70

x=58m

Area of rectangular plot=length×breadth

Area=70×58

=4060m sq

Area of sq is greater than area of rectangle
