The perimeter of one square is 24m & that of another is 32m. Perimeter of a square whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the 2 squares will be
Choose the most appropriate option
A) 20 m
B) 24 m
C) 28 m
D) 40 m
E) 43 m

Rationale: perimeter of square = 4 * side perimeter of first square = 24 m . side of first square = ∴ area of first square = perimeter of second square = 32 m . side of second square = ∴ area of second square = sum of the areas of two squares = 36 + 64 = 100 m 2 ∴ side of square = ∴ perimeter of square = 4 * 10 = 40 m . d
Answer: D
