Question

A wire was bent into the shape of a rectangle with width 5 and length 7 . If this wire

is bent into the shape of a square, what is the length of a side of the square?
A) 3
B) 6
C) 24
D) 35

Answer 1

B | 6

Explanation:

First, find the length of the wire by finding the perimeter of the rectangle

2(5) 2(7) = 24

If a square has 4 sides, put 24 as the numerator and 4 as the denominator.

24/4

Now, divide it and you'll get 6, the answer.
