(a) Shapes 1, 3 and 4 have different areas and different perimeters.
(b) Shapes 1 and 4 have the same area as well as the same perimeter.
(c) Shapes 1, 2 and 4 have the same area.
(d) Shapes 1, 3 and 4 have the same perimeter.

Answer:

Shape 1:

Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
                 = 22 units

Area = 18 × 1
         = 18 square units

Shape 2: 


Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 
                 = 18 units

Area = 18 × 1
         = 18 square units

Shape 3:


Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
                 = 22 units

Area = 16 × 1
         = 16 square units

Shape 4:

Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
                 = 22 units

Area = 18 × 1
         = 18 square units

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Given: Area of the square MNOP = 144 cm2

There are 8 triangles in the given squares MNOP 

∴ Area of each triangle =18× Area of square
                                     =18×144 cm2=18 cm2

Thus, area of each triangle is 18 cm2.

State whether the statement is True or False.
In the given figure, perimeter of (ii) is greater than that of (i), but its area is smaller than that of (i).

Answer:

Perimeter of the figure (ii) is greater than that of figure (i) because some part is being cut and that part has created a dip in the figure. So the perimeter is increased because now we have to add the height of the dip along with the perimeter of the figure (i).

Thus, the given statement is True.

(a) area of (i) is the same as the area of (ii).

(b) Perimeter of (ii) is the same as (i).
(c) If (ii) is divided into squares of unit length, then its area is 13 unit squares.
(d) Perimeter of (ii) is 18 units.

Answer:

In the given figure, the numbers of blocks are the same. 

Therefore, the area of both figures is the same.

(b) Perimeter of (ii) is the same as (i).

Two new sides are added in figure (ii). Hence, the perimeter of figure (ii) is greater than figure (i).

Thus, the statement is False.

(c) If (ii) is divided into squares of unit length, then its area is 13 unit squares.

Area of 1 squares 1×1=1 unit squares

Number of squares = 12
Area of 12 squares  = 12 × 1 = 12 unit squares

Thus, the statement is False.

(d) Perimeter of (ii) is 18 units.


Perimeter of the figure = 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm + 1 cm

Altitudes MN and MO of parallelogram MGHK are 8 cm and 4 cm long respectively. One side GH is 6 cm long. Find the perimeter of MGHK.

 

Answer:

Given: MN = 8 cm, MO = 4 cm and GH = 6 cm
Area of parallelogram MGHK =12×Base×Height
                                                 =12×GH×MN=12×6×8=24 cm2
Also, area of parallelogram MGHK =12×HK×MO
24=12×HK×424=2HK12=HK
Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
∴ MK = GH = 6 cm and MG = HK = 12 cm 

∴ Perimeter of MGHK = MK + HK + GH + MG
= 6 + 12 + 6 + 12

Thus, the perimeter of MGHK is 36  cm.
