VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS
A rectangle is 16 m long and 9 m wide. Find the side of a square whose area is equal to the area of the
rectangle.​

Answer 1

area of rectangle = 144

and side of sq = √ 144

=12

Answer 2

Answer :-

The side of the square is 12 m.

Explanation :-

Given,

• Length (l) = 16 m
• Breadth (b) = 9 m

Area of rectangle

= l × b

= 16 × 9

= 144 $\: {m}^{2}$

Since, Area of square = Area of rectangle

So,

${(</strong><strong>S</strong><strong>ide)}^{2} = 144 \\ </strong><strong>S</strong><strong>ide = \sqrt{144} \\ </strong><strong>S</strong><strong>ide = 12 \: cm$

Hence, the required side of the square is 12 cm.
