Question

Hear is a rectangle 7 cm 3 cm the squre has the same peremeter as the rectangle what is the side length of this squre ______7cm_______ l l l l 3 cm l _______________l

Answer 1

5 cm

Explanation:

The rectangle has a length (l) of 7 cm and a width (w) of 3 cm. Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w) = 2(7 + 3) = 2(10) = 20 cm

Since the rectangle and the square has the same perimeter, Therefore, the perimeter of the square is:

Perimeter of square = 2(l + w). But the length and width of a square are the same (i.e l = w). Therefore:

Perimeter of square = 4l

20 = 4l

l = 20 / 4 = 5 cm

Each side of the square has a length of 5 cm
