Area of a square and a rectangle are equal. If side of the square is 40 cm and length of the rectangle is 64 cm, what is the perimeter of the rectangle ?

• A. 178 cm
• B. 194 cm
• C. 187 cm
• D. 149 cm

Answer: (A)

Area of square = 40 x 40 = 1600 sq.cm Given that the areas of Square and Rectangle are equal => Area of rectangle = 1600 Sq.cm We know that, Area of rectangle = L x B Given L = 64 cm Breadth of rectangle = 1600/64 = 25 cm Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + B) = 2(64+25) = 178 cm.
