Question

The perimeter of 4 squares is 16 cm, 32 cm, 36 cm and 44 cm respectively. What will be the area of the square having perimeter equal to sum of edges of 4 squares? (in sq.cm)

A 64 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 36 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 100 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 81 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let side of 4 squares be a, b, c and d cm respectively. => a = 16/4 = 4 cm => b = 32/4 = 8 cm => c = 36/4 = 9 cm => d = 44/4 = 11 cm Perimeter of new square = a + b + c + d = 32 => side = 32/4 = 8 cm Required area = side2 = 82 = 64 cm2.
