Question

The areas of a square and a rectangle are equal. The length of the rectangle is greater than the length of any side of the square by 5 cm and the breadth is less by 3 cm. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

• A. 17 cm
• B. 26 cm
• C. 30 cm
• D. 34 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 34 cm

Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × side

4 × side = 40

$Side =\frac{40}{4}=10m$

As, rhombus is a parallelogram of equal sides, its area = base × height $= 10 \times{ 5} = 50m^2.$
