• A. Square
• B. Rectangle
• C. The perimeters of both are equal.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C The perimeters of both are equal.


Perimeter of rectangle
$=2\times$ (Length + Width)
$=2\times (6+8)=2\times 14=28$ feet


Perimeter of square

$=4\times 7=28$ feet

Therefore, perimeter of rectangle = perimeter of square = $28$ feet. (c) is the correct option.
