Answer:
Length of the rectangle is = 8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Area of square = Area of the rectangle
According to the question:
Length of the square be 'x'.
Its area = (Side)*(Side) = ...equation (i)
Length of the rectangle =
Width of the rectangle =
Area of the rectangle =Length * Width
⇒
⇒ ...equation (ii)
Equating both the equation as area of both the figure are equal.
⇒
⇒ ...subtracting
both sides
⇒ ...dividing both sides with 2
⇒ inches
Plugging the value of x=4 in the length of the rectangle.
We have,
⇒
So the length of the rectangle = 8 inches.
