20: Area of Trapezium and a Polygon Class 8 Maths
- #11The perimeter of a square is numerically equal to its area. Find its area.Ans : Let each side of the square be x cm.
Its perimeter = 4x,
Area = x2
By the given condition,4x = x2
⇒ x2 - 4x = 0
⇒ x (x - 4) = 0
⇒ x = 4 [x ≠0]
Area = x2 = (4)2 = 4 x 4 = 16 sq.units.
