In Figure each square is of unit length

(a) What is the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD?
(b) What is the area of the rectangle $A B C D$ ?
(d) Find the perimeter of each part which you have divided. Are they all equal?
Show solutionHide solution
Ans:Given that each square is of unit length,$ABCD$ is 10 units and breadth is 6 units
Perimeter of $ABCD = 2 \times($ length $+$ breadth $)$
$=2 \times(10+6)$ units $=2 \times 16$ units $=32$ units
Ans:Area of rectangle $ABCD =$ length $\times$ breadth
$(10 \times 6) \text { units }^{2}=60 \text { units }^{2}$
(c) Divide this rectangle into ten parts of the equal area by shading squares.
(Two parts of equal area are shown here)
Ans: The figure shows the part of the rectangle of the equal area by shading squares 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Ans: For 1,2,4,7,8 & 10 parts, Perimeter is 12 units.
For 3,5,6 & 9 Perimeter is 14 units.
No, they are not equal.
