The length and breadth of a rectangle are 10 cm and 6 cm respectively. The side of a square is 8 cm, compare the perimeters of the given rectangle and square and compare the areas of the given rectangle and square.
Given :
Length of a rectangle = 10 cm
Breadth of a rectangle = 6 cm
The length of the side of a square = 8 cm
To find :
We have to find the perimeter and area of the rectangle and square.
Solution :
We know that,
Perimeter of a rectangle of length l and breadth b is $2(l+b)$.
Area of a rectangle of length l and breadth b is lb.
Perimeter of a square of side s is 4s.
Area of a square of side s is s2.
Therefore,
Perimeter of the given rectangle = $2(10+6) cm = 2(16) cm = 32 cm.$
Area of the given rectangle =$10\times6 cm^2 = 60 cm^2.$
Perimeter of the given square = $4(8) cm = 32 cm.$
Area of the given square = $8^2 cm^2 = 64 cm^2.$
Perimeter of the square and rectangle are equal.
Area of the square is greater than the area of the rectangle by $64 cm^2-60 cm^2 = 4 cm^2.$
