Answer 1

Square length of 5cm

Explanation:

Given

`Length = 30cm`

`Width = 25cm`

Required

Determine the possible measure of square from the rectangular sheet

To do this, we simply calculate the greatest common factor (GCF) of the dimension of the rectangle.

`30 = 2 * 3 * 5`

`25 = 5 * 5`

The common factor is: 5

Hence, the side length of the square is 5cm
