Question

Find the side of a square whose area is equal to the area of a rectangle with sides 6.4 m and 2.5 m.

Answer 1

Given: Length of rectangle (l) = 6.4 m

Breadth of rectangle (b) = 2.5 m

Area of rectangle = l × b

= 6.4 × 2.5

= 16 m²

Then area of square = 16 m²  ...(Equal to rectangle)

As we know,

Area of square = Side × Side

16 = (Side)²

4² = (Side)²

⇒ Side = 4 m
