The perimeter of a rectangle and square are equal,but the area of the ...
he formula for the area of a square is:
A = s^2
Where:
A is the area of the square.
s is the length of the side of a square.
Substituting and solving for s gives:
225" cm"^2 = s^2
We can take the square root of each side of the equation giving:
sqrt(225" cm"^2) = sqrt(s^2)
15" cm" = s
s = 15" cm"
The formula for the perimeter of a square is:
p = 4s
Where:
p is the perimeter of the square.
s is the length of the side of a square.
Substituting for s from the solution for the previous formula and calculating p gives:
p = 4 xx 15" cm"
=p = 60cm

Given information:
- The perimeter of a rectangle and square are equal.
- The area of the rectangle is 225 sq.m less than the square.
To find:
- The length and breadth of the rectangle.
Solution:
Let's assume the length and breadth of the rectangle as 'l' and 'b' respectively. Since the perimeter of the rectangle and square are equal, we can set up the equation:
2(l + b) = 4s
Here, 's' represents the side length of the square. Simplifying the equation, we get:
l + b = 2s
We are also given that the area of the rectangle is 225 sq.m less than the square. Mathematically, we can express this as:
lb = s^2 - 225
Substituting the value of 's' from the first equation:
lb = (l + b)^2 - 225
Expanding the square of the sum:
lb = l^2 + 2lb + b^2 - 225
Rearranging the terms:
l^2 + b^2 - 2lb = 225
Using the equation l + b = 2s:
l^2 + b^2 - 2lb = 225
l^2 + b^2 - 2l(2s - l) = 225
l^2 + b^2 - 4ls + 2l^2 = 225
3l^2 - 4ls + b^2 = 225
Since the perimeter of the rectangle and square are equal, the length of the square is 2l + 2b. Therefore, s = l + b.
Substituting the value of 's' in the above equation:
3l^2 - 4l(l + b) + b^2 = 225
3l^2 - 4l^2 - 4lb + b^2 = 225
-b^2 - 4lb + 225 = 0
Factoring the quadratic equation:
(b - 9)(b + 25) = 0
From this, we can deduce two possible values for 'b': b = 9 or b = -25. Since the breadth cannot be negative, we consider b = 9.
Substituting the value of 'b' in the equation l + b = 2s:
l + 9 = 2s
l = 2s - 9
Substituting the value of 'l' in the equation lb = s^2 - 225:
(2s - 9)(9) = s^2 - 225
18s - 81 = s^2 - 225
s^2 - 18s + 144 = 0
(s - 12)(s - 6) = 0
From this, we can deduce two possible values for 's': s = 12 or s = 6.
Calculating the length and breadth:
Case 1: When s = 12
l = 2(12) - 9 = 15
b = 9
Case 2: When s
