The perimeter of a square plot is the same as that of a rectangular plot with sides 35 m and 15 m. The side of the square plot is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know that,
Perimeter of the square = 4(side)
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (l + b)
We have,
Sides of rectangular plot are = 35 m and 15 m
Then,
Perimeter of the rectangular plot = 2 (35 + 15) = 2 × 50 = 100 m
Here it is given that,
Perimeter of square plot = perimeter of rectangular plot
4(side) = 100
= side = 25 m
