The area of the square is 144cm. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of a square. The length of a rectangle is 12 more than the breadth of a rectangle. Find the ratio between the diagonal of a square and the diagonal of a rectangle.1. √5 : √22. 2 : √53. √2 : √54. 2 : 55. √5 : 2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2 : √5

Given:

⇒ Side of a square = √144 = 12cm

Using pythgoras theorem,

⇒ Diagonal of a square = √288 = 12√2cm

⇒ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth) = 4 × 12 = 48cm

⇒ Length = 12 + breadth

Solving,

⇒ Length = 18cm and Breadth = 6cm

Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Diagonal of rectangle = √360 = 6√10cm

∴ Required ratio = 12√2 : 6√10 = 2 : √5
