How much is the length of a square section with a perimeter of 60 m greater than the length

How much is the length of a square section with a perimeter of 60 m greater than the length of a rectangular section with a width of 8 m and a perimeter of 40 m?

We find the length of the square section.

To do this, we divide its perimeter into 4 equal sides.

Will be:

60/4 = 15 m.

We find the sum of the length and width of the rectangular section.

To do this, we divide its perimeter into 2 equal parts.

40/2 = 20 m.

We find the length of the rectangular section.

To do this, subtract the width from 20 meters.

Will be:

20 – 8 = 12 meters.

Find the difference in the lengths of the sides.

Subtract from the length of the side of the square the length of the side of the rectangle.

15 – 12 = 3 meters.

Answer: The length of the square is 3 meters longer.
