The length and the breadth of a rectangle are 36 cm and 28 cm. If its perimeter is equal to the perimeter of a square, find the side of the square.
Solution
Length of rectangle = 36 cm
Breadth of rectangle = 28 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
= 2(36 + 28)
=2(64)
= 128 cm
Given, the perimeter of the square = perimeter of rectangle = 128 cm
∴ Side of the square =`"Perimeter"/4`
=`128/4`
= 32 cm
