Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the square =64 m

Length of the rectangle =70 m

Perimeter of the square =4×side=4×64=256 m

Let breadth of the rectangle =B

Perimeter of the rectangle =2(70+B)

2×(70+B)=256

⇒140+2B=256

⇒2B=256−140

⇒2B=116

⇒B=58 m

Area of the rectangle =58×70=4060 sq. m

Area of the square = length × breadth =64×64=4096 sq.m

Square has more area by 36 sq. m.
