Question

Two plots of land have the same perimeter.one is square of side 60m while the other is a rectangle whose breadth is 1.5 dam which plot has the greater area and by how much

Answer 1

Perimeter of Square= Perimeter of rectangle
Perimeter of Square= 4× 60 => 240 m
Perimeter of rectangle= 2×[L+b]
240/2 = L+ 1.5
120 - 1.5 = L
L = 118.5m
Now area of sq= 3600 m²
Area of rectangle= 177.75 m²
Hope this helps
