✓
Answer
Steps for construction:
$i.\ $Draw a line segment $AB$, which is equal to $5.6\ cm.$
$ii.\ $With $A$ as the centre and radius more than half of $AB$, draw arcs, one on each side of $AB.$
$iii.\ $With $B$ as the centre and the same radius as before, draw arcs cutting the perviously drawn arcs at $M$ and $N,$ respectively.
$iv.\ $Draw $MN$, meeting $AB$ at $R.$

Avneet buys 9 square paving slabs, each with a side of $\frac{1}{2} m$. He lays them in the form of a square.
(i) What is the perimeter of his arrangement?
(ii) Shari does not like his arrangement. She gets him to lay them out like a cross. What is the perimeter of her arrangement?
(iii) Which has greater perimeter?
(iv) Avneet wonders, if there is a way of getting an even greater perimeter. Can you find a wal of doing this? (The paving slabs must meet along complete edges they cannot be broken!
