A figure is formed by putting two squares one on the other as shown.
If the length of each side of the two squares is 8 cm, what is the perimeter of the figure?
48 cm
Since two squares are combined, the new shape is that of a rectangle.
Length of rectangle = 16 cm
Breadth of rectangle = 8 cm
Perimeter of figure = 2(16 + 8) = 2(24) = 48 cm
