Question

How many different shapes can you make by joining two squares? Draw them on the squared sheet given below. How long is the boundary of each shape?


Try this activity with three squares also.

Answer 1

Clearly, the boundaries of B and C include 6 sides each, whereas the boundary of A includes 8 sides. Thus, A will have a larger boundary as compared to B and C.

Figure D is made using three squares.
