let the side of the square be x meterslength of two sides = 2x metersdiagonal = 2 x = 1.414x m saving on 2x meters = .59x m saving % = 0 . 59 x 2 x * 100 % = 30% (approx)
Let the length, breadth and height of the room be l, b and h respectively As per question Cost of 2(l + b) x h = Rs. 48 ? Required cost = cost of 2 (2l + 2b) x 2h= cost of 4 [2(l + b) x h ]= 4 x Rs. 48= Rs. 192
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.
