Question

What will be the perimeter of the largest rectangle that can be formed using six squares of side 11 cm?

• A. 153 cm
• B. 154 cm
• C. 155 cm
• D. 156 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is B 154 cm

There are 6 squares of side 11 cm.

When we keep the squares next to each other, the length of the side will be $11\times 6$ = 66 cm and the breadth will be 11 cm. It is the largest rectangle that can be formed using these squares.



Hence, it will form a rectangle of length 66 cm and breadth of 11 cm.

$\therefore$ perimeter of the rectangle
= 2(length + breadth)
= 2(66 + 11)
= 154 cm
