Question

Which of the following figures has a greater perimeter?

Answer 1

(i) Perimeter of the square $=4\times$ side

$=4\times 4\text{cm}$

= 16 cm

(ii) Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)

= 2(8 cm + 3 cm)

$=2\times 11\text{cm}$

= 22 cm

Since 22 cm > 16 cm

$\therefore$ Rectangle has greater perimeter than the square.
