Respuesta :

Answer:

12x*3x=36x^2

squarelength=[tex]\sqrt{36x^2}[/tex]=6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of each side of a square is equals to 6x.

What is rectangle?

" A rectangle is a two dimensional shape whose opposite sides are parallel and congruent to each other. Each of the interior angle is of measure 90°."

What is square?

" A square is a parallelogram whose all sides are congruent to each other. Each of the interior angle is of measure 90°."

Formula used

Area of rectangle = length × width

Area of square = (side)²

According to the question,

length of a rectangle = 12x

width of a rectangle = 3x

Substitute the value in the formula we have,

Area of rectangle = 12x × 6x

                             = 36x²

As per the question,

Area of rectangle = Area of square

Therefore ,

Area of square = 36x²

⇒ (side)² = 36x²

⇒ side = 6x

Hence, length of each side of a square is equals to 6x.
