What is the perimeter of each of the following figures? What do you infer from the answers?




(a) We know that,

Perimeter of square = 4 × Side of square


= 4 × 25 cm


= 100 cm


(b) We know that,


Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (l + b)


Here, l is 40 cm and b is 10 cm.


= 2 × (40 + 10)


= 2 × (50)


= 100 cm


(c) We know that,


Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (l + b)


Here, l is 30 cm and b is 20 cm.


= 2 × (30 + 20)


= 2 × (50)


= 100 cm


(d) We know that,


Perimeter of triangle = Sum of all sides


= 30 + 30 + 40


= 100 cm
