The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We are given: - The perimeter of a rectangular field is 386 m. - The difference between its two adjacent sides (length and breadth) is 95 m. ### Step 2: Set up the equations Let: - Length of the rectangle = L - Breadth of the rectangle = B From the perimeter, we know: \[ 2(L + B) = 386 \] This simplifies to: \[ L + B = 193 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] From the difference between the sides, we have: \[ L - B = 95 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the equations Now we will solve these two equations simultaneously. Adding Equation 1 and Equation 2: \[ (L + B) + (L - B) = 193 + 95 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2L = 288 \] So, we find: \[ L = \frac{288}{2} = 144 \text{ m} \] Now, substitute L back into Equation 1 to find B: \[ 144 + B = 193 \] So, \[ B = 193 - 144 = 49 \text{ m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the area of the rectangle The area \( A \) of the rectangle is given by: \[ A = L \times B \] Substituting the values we found: \[ A = 144 \times 49 \] Calculating this: \[ A = 7056 \text{ m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Find the side of the square having the same area Let the side of the square be \( s \). The area of the square is given by: \[ s^2 = A \] Thus, \[ s^2 = 7056 \] Taking the square root of both sides: \[ s = \sqrt{7056} \] Calculating the square root: \[ s = 84 \text{ m} \] ### Final Answer The side of the square field having the same area as that of the rectangle is **84 m**. ---
