Verified by Experts

The side of a square `=5 cm`
The length of a rectangle `=6 m`
Let the breadth of a rectangle be 'b' m.
Since the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to the perimeter of the square,
`2(6+b)=4xx5`
`6+b=10`
`b=4m`
The ratio of the areas of the square and the rectangle `=5^2: 6xx4=25 : 24`
