Let length of a single square be x so breadth is also equal to x
Since 6 squares are placed side by side
New length =x(remains unchanged)
New breadth= x+x+x+x+x+x=6x (as the squares are placed side by side)
Hence a rectangle is formed where length=x breadth=6x
Perimeter=2(l+b)=182
or,2(x+6x)=182
or x=13
perimeter of single square=4*13=52 ANS

let the one side of a square is = x
then created rectangle length=3x
bredth=2x
2(3x+2x) = 182
so x = 18.2
perimeter of square= 4*side
=4*18.2
=72.8

here if all the square placed side by side,then it makes a rectangle of length (L)and breadth(B).then
L= 6B;
now perimeter of rectangle = 2*(L+B)=182.
Which give B=13,and L=13.now calculate ,,, perimeter of single square = 52.

karthiga  (9 years ago)

2(l + b) = 182;
l + b = 91;
square side = a;
l = 3a;
b = 2a;
5a = 91;
a = 18.2;
perimeter of square = 4a;
= 4*18.2 = 72.8

if 6 squares(identical) are placed one after the other it looks like rectangle with |_ _ _ _ _ _ | i.e (6*2)+2 sides of square form rect.
so 14 * side of square = 182 = 7*26 ; => side of square = 13.
hence perimeter = 4*side of square = 13*4 = 52

piya  (9 years ago)

let one side be x
then length of rectangle is 6x and breadth x
so perimeter is 14x=182
x=12
answer is perimeter of square i.e. 4x =48

total square 6 so total perimetr made by squares are 6*4*w=24w that is equal to 182 so 24w=182 >>w=7.58 and perimeter of single square is 7.58*4=30.32

kishor.s.d  (9 years ago)

2(2a+3a)=182
10a=182
a=18.2
perimeter of one square is 4a=4*18.2=72.8.

ravi prakash  (9 years ago)

perimeter oof rectangle=2(l+b)
2(l+b)=182
l+b=91
that means 5 l=91
so perimeter of square=(91/5)*4
=72.8

6 squeres side by side of size suppose "A"so length of rectangle becomes 6A and breadth A...bt as peri. given 182..so 7A=182 =>A=13 hence peri. of squere is 13*4=52

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

Saurabh Kumar  (7 years ago)

Perimeter of the rectangle->2(l+b)=182
(l+b)/2=182
l+b=91
Six squares formed a rectangle ,so length is six times of its breadth
->6b+b=91
->7b=91
->b=13
so Side of square is 13
perimeter of a square is 4*side=52
