The breadth of a rectangle is equal to its length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is $88\ cm$, find its dimensions.

Given: The breadth of a rectangle is equal to its length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is $88\ cm$.

To do: To find its dimensions.

Solution:

As given, the breadth of a rectangle is equal to its length.

Therefore it is a square.

Let $a$ be the side of the given shape.

$\therefore$ Perimeter of the square$=4a=88$     [Given perimeter$=88\ cm$]

$\Rightarrow a=\frac{88}{4}$

$\Rightarrow a=4\ cm$.

Thus, the given shape is a square with $4\ cm\times4\ cm$ dimensions.
