  • The perimeters of two squares are 40 cm and 32 cm.
Question 1:
The perimeters of two squares are 40 cm and 32 cm. Find the perimeter of a third square whose area is equal to the difference of the areas of the two squares .
A. 22 cm
B. 24 cm
Feedback We know perimeter of square = 4(side)
So Side of first square = 40/4 = 10 cm
Side of second square = 32/4 = 8 cm
Area of third Square = 10*10 - 8*8
= 36 cm
So side of third square = 6 [because area of square = side*side]
Perimeter = 4*Side = 4*6 = 24 cm
C. 26 cm
D. 28 cm
