Answer:
Area of a square is length * length
Area of a rectangle is length * breadth
In the question, the area of the square is 36
And the area of the rectangle is the area of the square
To find the area of the rectangle, multiply 1(1/3) by the area of the square(36)
Area of rectangle becomes, 1(1/3) * 36 = (4/3) * 36 = 48cm2
To find the perimeter of the shape, we must find the perimeter of the rectangle - perimiter of the square
Since area of square is length * length, the length of the square is 6cm
The breadth of the rectangle is equal to the length of the square, hence, b = 6cm
Since, length * breadth = 48
l * 6 = 48
l = 8
Perimeter of the shape = 4 * perimeter of rectangle - perimter of square
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
Perimeter of sqaure = 4l
Our answer = 4 * 2(6+8) - 4(6)
= 4 * 28 - 36
= 88cm
