Question

What is the perimeter of the square that has the same area as the rectangle?

18 ft

5 ft

A) 9.49 ft

OB) 23 ft

OC) 37.96 ft

OD) 90 ft

Answer 1

A) 9.49 ft

Explanation:

The area of the rectangle is:

`A = (18\,ft)\cdot (5\,ft)`

`A = 90\,ft^(2)`

The length of the square is:

`l = \sqrt{90\,ft^(2)}`

`l \approx 9.487\,ft`
