Solving

Knowing that we have the information needed we will first find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Rectangle:
Length: 13cm

Width: 7cm

Formula: L+L+W+W

13+13+7+7 = 40cm

Meaning the perimeter is 40cm and we can use this to find the length of a square. From general knowledge we know that all sides of a square is equal.

So if we divide the 4 sides by 40 we will get our answer.

40 ÷ 4 = 10

So B would be our answer...

Statement

Therefore the length of a side of the square is 10cm, meaning answer B is correct.
