A rectangle is formed by placing two identicle squares side by side the area of the rectangle is 72 cm.² what is the perimeter of one square


Sagot :

Answer:

Perimeter of the square = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is 72 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

The area of a square = [tex]\frac{72}{2}[/tex] [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] = 36 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Let the length of the square be [tex]x[/tex]

length x length = Area of a square

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 36

[tex]x[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex] = 6 cm

Perimeter of the square = 4 x length

                                        = 4 x 6

                                        = 24 cm
