Question 369888: How much less is the area of a rectangular field 60 by 40 meters than that of a square field with the same perimeter? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area of rectangle = L*W
60*40 = 2400 m^2
...
perimeter = 2L+2W
= 2*60+2*40
= 200 meters
...
side of square = perimeter / 4
200/4 = 50 meters
..
area of square = 50*50 = 2500 m^2
...
2500-2400 = 100 m^2 is the difference.
