Question

Draw two different figures that each have a perimeter of 20 units

Answer 1

First one is a square.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Perimeter of figure = Sum of all sides of the figure

Since we are supposed to draw the figure whose perimeter should be 20 units .

So, the first figure we can draw is a square.

Formula of perimeter of square =
`4 * side`

Now we are given the perimeter 20

So,
`20 = 4 * side`

`(20)/(4)= Side`

`5= Side`

Thus the side of the square should be 5 units so, that its perimeter will be of 20 units.

Refer the figure 1.

Now we can draw a rectangle with length = 7 units

Width = 3 units

Formula of perimeter of rectangle =
`2(Length+Width)`

=
`2(7+3)`

=
`20`

So, the perimeter of rectangle is 20 units

Refer the figure 2 .
