Question 18 of 21intermediate✨ CreateDiagram3 marks
Shape A has an area of 18 square units and Shape B has an area of 20 square units. Shape A has a longer perimeter than Shape B. Draw two such shapes satisfying the given conditions.
Correct Answer
Shape A can be drawn as a long, thin shape (like a rectangle) with area 18 sq units and large perimeter. Shape B can be drawn as a compact shape (like a rectangle) with area 20 sq units and smaller perimeter. The thin shape has more perimeter despite having less area.

Explanation
This demonstrates that area and perimeter are not directly related. A shape with smaller area can have a larger perimeter if it is more spread out or irregular. A compact shape with larger area can have a smaller perimeter.
