Open in App
Solution

(a) Given, length of rectangle = 6 units

and breadth of rectangle = 2 units

Area of a rectangle = Length ×Breadth = 6×2 = 12 sq units

(b) According to question,

Perimeter of square = Perimeter of rectangle

4×Side = 2×(Length + Breadth)

4×Side = 2×(6 + 2)

4×Side = 2×8

4×Side = 16

4×Side4=164 [dividing both sides 4 ]

Side = 4 units

Now, area of square = Side×Side = 4×4 = 16 sq units
