EXERCISE 10.1

What is the perimeter of of the following figure? 

 

If the perimeter of the following figure is $k \mathrm{cm}$, then find the value of $k$. 

If the perimeter of the following figure is $k \mathrm{cm}$, then find the value of $k$. 

What is the perimeter of the following figure $\left(\mathrm{in} \mathrm{cm}\right)$ ?

Avneet buys $9$ square paving slabs, each with a side of $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}$. He lays them in the form of a square.

What is the perimeter of his arrangement ?

Avneet buys $9$ square paving slabs, each with a side of $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}$. He lays them in the form of a square.

Shari does not like his arrangement. She gets him to lay them out like a cross. If the perimeter of her arrangement is $k$ metre then find value of $k$.
 

Avneet buys $9$ square paving slabs, each with a side of $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}$. He lays them in the form of a square.

 Which has a greater perimeter?

Avneet buys $9$ square paving slabs, each with a side of $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}.$ He lays them in the form of a square.

Avneet wonders if there is a way of getting an even greater perimeter. Can you find a way of doing this? (The paving slabs must meet along complete edges i.e. they cannot be broken.)
