A rectangle of length and breadth equal to 19m and 17m respectively has to be converted into a square of equal area. What will be the side of the square? (Give answer till two decimal places).
17.97
Area of rectangle =19×17m2=323m2 . Since, area of square = area of rectangle, therefore,
Area of square =323 m2
If side of square is a, area is a2
a2=323 m2
a=17.97 m
