Draw two rectangles each having the following perimeters. (a) 26 cm (b) 18 cm
(a)
Draw two rectangles with perimeter 26 cm
Answer
Possible rectangles: 10 cm × 3 cm and 8 cm × 5 cm (both have perimeter 26 cm)
(b)
Draw two rectangles with perimeter 18 cm
Answer
Possible rectangles: 7 cm × 2 cm and 6 cm × 3 cm (both have perimeter 18 cm)
Explanation
(a) Perimeter = 2(L+B) = 26 cm means L+B = 13 cm. Multiple combinations satisfy this. (b) Perimeter = 2(L+B) = 18 cm means L+B = 9 cm. Multiple combinations satisfy this.
