Question

Arrange five squares of side 1 cm each without overlapping ,such that the resulting shape has perimeter 12 cm.​

Answer 1

It would take 10000 number of 1 cm squares to construct a square that is 1m on each side.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Shape will be rectangle with length 5cm and breath 1cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We have 5 squares each of length 1 cm.

2) We have to form a shape which has perimeter 12cm.

3) If we use all the 4 sides of each 5 squares in making the new shape then the perimeter will be 4×5 = 20 cm as perimeter of each square is 4 cm.

4) As we want 12cm perimeter, we have to reduce 8 sides from these 20 sides.

This can be done by placing each square adjacent to another with one side common, in a line resulting in a rectangular shape with length 5 cm and breadth 1 cm

5) The formula for perimeter of rectangle with length l cm and breadth b cm is 2(l + b) cm.

6)So the perimeter of this new rectangular shape will be 2(5 + 1) = 2(6) = 12 cm
