Image
For example, the arrangement a. has a perimeter of 28 cm.
Find out the length of the boundary (i.e., the perimeter) of each of the other arrangements below.

Answer

(b)
Image
∴ Length of boundary = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FG + GA
= 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 2
= 28 cm
(c)
Image
Total length of boundary = AB + BC + CD + DE +EF + FG + GH + HA
= 2 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2
= 28 cm
(d)
Image
Total length of boundary = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FG + GH + HA
= 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 2
= 26 cm
