Find the length of each side of a square whose area is equal to the area of a rectangle of length 13.6 meters and breadth 3.4 meters
Given that,
Length of rectangle = 13.6 meters
Breadth of rectangle = 3.4 meters
We know that,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= (13.6 × 3.4)
= 46.24 sq m
Therefore,
Area of the square = 46.25 sq m
Length of each side of the square =
Now, by using long division method we get:
= 6.8
Therefore,
The length of a side of the square is 6.8 meters
