Question

The area of each square in the given figure is 4 cm². The perimeter of the whole figure is ___.

Answer 1

Area of the square = side $\times$ side
$\therefore$ side $\times$ side = 4 cm²
$\Rightarrow$ side = 2 cm.
Now, looking at the figure we can say that:
Length of the bigger square = 4 $\times$ 2 cm = 8 cm
And breadth of the bigger square = 4 $\times$ 2 cm = 8 cm
$\therefore$ Perimeter of the bigger square = 4 $\times$ side = 4 $\times$8 = 32 cm.
