Question
The area of a square is equal to the area of a rectangle. The length and breadth of the rectangle are 18 cm and 8 cm respectively. If the side of the square is increased by 2 cm, then what will be the new area of the square?
Solution
ATQ, Area of rectangle = 18 x 8 = 144 sq cm So, area of square = 144 sq cm Side of square = 12 cm New side = 12 + 2 = 14 cm New area = 14Β² = 196 sq cm Hence, the correct answer is 196 sq cm.
