MathematicsClass 6CBSEAnswered 22 May 2026
Answer
∴ Perimeter of the table-top = 2 [length + breadth]
= 2 [36 cm + 24 cm]
= 2 × 60 cm = 120 cm.
Fig. (i) Perimeter of the square = 4 × side
= 4 × 4 cm = 16 cm
Fig. (ii) Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 [length + breadth]
= 2[8 cm + 3 cm]
= 2 × 11 cm = 22 cm
Since 22 cm > 16 cm
∴ Rectangle has greater perimeter than the square.
