Let a be the side of a square, l be the length and b be the breadth of rectangle.
As length of wire is constant, perimeter of both shapes would be same,
⇒4a=2(l+b) ⇒40=2(12+b) ⇒b=18 cm Area of square=a 2 =10 2 =100cm 2
Area of rectangle=lb=12×18=216cm
2
⇒ Area of rectangle is greater by 116cm

Example 4 A wire is in the shape of a square of side 10 cm. If the wire is rebent into a rectangle of length 12 cm, find its breadth. Which encloses more area, the square or the rectangle? We convert Square wire into rectangle So, length of wire will be same ∴ Perimeter of square = Perimeter of rectangle Square Side of square = a = 10 cm Perimeter = 4a = 4 × 10 = 40 cm Rectangle Length of rectangle = l = 12 cm Breadth of rectangle = b = ? Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 2 (12 + b) = 12 cm Here, ∴ Perimeter of square = Perimeter of rectangle 40 = 2 (12 + b) 40/2 = 12 + b 20 = 12 + b 20 − 12 = b 8 = b b = 8 ∴ Breadth of rectangle is of 8 cm. Now, We need to find whose area is bigger Finding area Square Area = a × a = 10 × 10 = 100 cm2 Rectangle Area = l × b = 12 × 8 = 96 cm2 So, Area of square is greater then area of rectangle

A wire is in the shape of a square of size 10cm. If the wire is rebent in a rectangle of length 15cm, what is the breadth of the rectangle? Which encloses more area, a square or a rectangle?
Open in App Solution
Perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle
4×side = 2(l+b) 4×10 = 2(12×b) 40 = 24b b = 10/6 Area of the square = side×side = 10×10 = 100 cm sq.
Area of the rectangle
= l×b = 12 × (10/6) = 20 cm sq
_____________________
Hence the are enclosed by the square is greater than that of rectangle by 80cm sq.
