a1 = 68/4 = 17 cmand a2 = 60/4 = 15 cm [ where a1 and a2 are sides]According to the question,Area of the third square = [(17)2 - (15)2 ] = (17 + 15) (17 - 15) = 32 x 2 = 64 sq cmLet a3 = Side of the third square.According to the question, (a3)2 = 64 sq cm ? a3 = ?64 = 8 cm? Perimeter of the third square = 4 x a3 = 4 x 8 = 32 cm.
Let l = 4k and b = 9kArea of rectangle = l x b144 = 4k x 9k ? k2 = 144/36 ? k2 = 4? k = 2? l = 8 cm and b = 18 cmPerimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)= 2(8 + 18)= 2 x 26= 52 cm
