Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Length of rectangle is 14cm,

Width of rectangle is 4 cm.

We know that perimeter of rectangle is 2(length+ width)

and perimeter of square is 4xside

Given condition,

perimeter of square = perimeter rectangle

2(14+4)=4(side)

2(18)=4(side)

36=4(side)

9=side

therefore side of square is 9cm.

We know that area of square = side x side

Therefore Area of square=9x9

area of square is 81 square cm.
