A rectangle having sidelengths 5 cm and 3 cm is made using a piece of wire. If the wire is straightened and then bent to form a square, what will be the length of a side of the square?

  • 2

Perimeter of the rectangle is 2 x (5 + 3) = 16 cm. When bent into a square, the perimeter remains the same. Length of one side = 16 ÷ 4 = 4 cm.

  1. The perimeter of the rectangle is calculated as 2 x (length + breadth) = 2 x (5 + 3) = 16 cm. If the wire is straightened and bent into a square, the perimeter remains the same at 16 cm. Since a square has four equal sides, the length of one side is perimeter ÷ 4, which equals 16 ÷ 4 = 4 cm. This process transforms the wire into a square while maintaining the same boundary length.
