Area of square = (Side)2 = 202= 400 sq cm ? Area of rectangle = 1.8 x 400 = 720 sq cm Let length and breadth of rectangle be 5k and k respectively.Then, according to the question, 5k x k = 720? 5k2 = 720 ? k2 = 720/5 = 144? k = ?144 = 12 cm Perimeter of rectangle = 2(5k + k) = 12k= 12 x12 = 144 cm
Let the width of the room be x membersThen, its area = (4x) m2Area of each new square room = (2x)m2Let the side of each new room = y metersThen, y2 = 2xClearly, 2x is a complete square when x=2? y2 = 4? y = 2 m .
