Question

    The perimeter of 4 squares is 20 cm, 36 cm, 40 cm and 48

    cm respectively. What will be the area of the square having perimeter equal to sum of edges of 4 squares? (in sq.cm)
    A 64 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 81 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 49 sq.cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let side of 4 squares be a, b, c and d cm respectively. => a = 20/4 = 5 cm => b = 36/4 = 9 cm => c = 40/4 = 10 cm => c = 48/4 = 12 cm Perimeter of new square = a + b + c + d = 36 => side = 36/4 = 9 cm Required area = side2 = 92 = 81 cm2.
