The parameter of a square is double the perimeter of a rectangle. The area of the rectangle is 480 sq cm. Find the area of the square?	Choose one:	A) 480	B) 997	C) 266	D) 288	E) 611
Let the side of the square be a cm. Let the length and the breadth of the rectangle be l cm and b cm respectively.   4a = 2(l + b)   2a = l + b   l . b = 480   We cannot find ( l + b) only with the help of l . b. Therefore a cannot be found .   Area of the square cannot be found.   480nswer: 480
