A rectangle measures 60 m by 20 m. A square has the same perimeter as this rectangle. By how many m² does the square's area exceed the rectangle's area?

Question

Accepted Answer

400. Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(60 + 20) = 160 m, so the square's side = 160/4 = 40 m. Square area = 1600 m², rectangle area = 60 × 20 = 1200 m². Difference = 1600 − 1200 = 400 m².
