The perimeter of Square is twice the perimeter of rectangle if the length and breadth of the rectangle are 7 ∶ 4. Breadth of the rectangle is 28 units. What is the Area of the square?
The perimeter of Square is twice the perimeter of rectangle if the length and breadth of the rectangle are 7 ∶ 4. Breadth of the rectangle is 28 units. What is the Area of the square? Correct Answer 5929 sq units
Given:
Breadth of rectangle = 28 units
Ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle = 7 : 4
Formula used:
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side
Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + breadth)
Area of square = side2
Calculation:
Length of rectangle = 7x
Breadth of rectangle = 4x
4x = 28 units
⇒ x = 7
Length of rectangle = 7 × 7
⇒ 49 units
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(28 + 49)
⇒ 154 units
Perimeter of square = twice the perimeter rectangle
⇒ 2 × 154 = 308 units
4 × side = 308 units
Side = 77 units
Area of square = 77 × 77
⇒ 5929 sq.units
∴ The area of a square is 5929 sq.units.
