Question

If perimeter of a figure increases, the area of the figure must increase.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

It is not necessary that the area of a figure will always increase with the increase in the perimeter.

For e.g. consider figure A and B. If we make 3 cuts in figure A to obtain figure B

perimeter of figure B increases whereas its area decreases when compared to figure A.
