Solution
The correct option is A448m Given: A wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an area =484cm2 We know Area of square =(side)2 (side)2=484 side=22cm And We know perimeter of square =4×side=4×22=88cm And now same wire when bent to form a rectangle whose breadth is 16cm. So, Let length of formed rectangle =x And we know perimeter of rectangle =2(Length+Breadth), so we get ⇒2(x+16)=88 ⇒x+16=44 ⇒x=44−16 ⇒x=28 So length of formed rectangle =28cm Given Breadth of Rectangle =16cm And Area of Rectangle =28×16=448cm2
