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!
