Let the side of the square(ABCD) be x metres. Then, AB + BC = 2x metres. AC = √2x = (1.41x) m. Saving on 2x metres = (0.59x) m. Saving % = ❨ 0.59x x 100 ❩% = 30%
Let the side of the square be 's' cm length of rectangle = (s+5) cm breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm (s+5) (s-3) = s 2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s 2 2s = 15 Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s?3) = 2(2s + 2) = 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm
Let the side of the square = y cmThen, breadth of the rectangle = 3y/2 cm ? Area of rectangle = (40 x 3y/2) cm2= 60y cm2? 60y = 3y2? y = 20Hence, the side of the square = 20 cm
