​

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Length}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{each}\mathrm{side}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{square},\mathrm{s}=12\mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{Perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{square}=4\mathrm{s}=4\times 12=48\mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{Length}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{rectangle},\mathrm{l}=14\mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{Breadth}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{rectangle},\mathrm{b}=8\mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{Perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{rectangle}=2\left(\mathrm{l}+\mathrm{b}\right)=2\left(14+8\right)=2\times 22=44\mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{square}>\mathrm{perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{rectangle} \end{gathered}$$
