(f) Area of square PQRS = 4x = 8a = 8 × Area of D = 8(2Area of C) B
= 16 × Area of C

(g) Seven pieces have been arranged to form a rectangle, as shown in the given
figure. The area will remain the same i.e., 16 × (Area of part C).
Are there more ways to arrange these seven pieces to form a rectangle?
Yes, certainly, there are. Students are advised to explore more arrangements.
(h) The perimeter will change. Perimeter of the square = 8x.
Perimeter of the rectangle = (2a + 2a) + (4a + 4a) = 12a = 12 x = 62x

So, the perimeter will increase. ( 62 = 8.48 > 8)
Ex 5. Match the shapes (each side measures 2 cm) in column I Column I Column II
with the corresponding perimeters in column II.
Sol. (a) → (iv) (a) (i) 16 cm
(b) → (i)
(c) → (ii) (b) (ii) 20 cm
(d) → (iii)
(c) (iii) 24 cm
(d) (iv) 28 cm
Ex 6. State True or False for each of the following statements.
(a) If the length of a rectangle is halved and the breadth is doubled, then the area of the rectangle
obtained remains the same.
(b) The area of a square is doubled if the side of the square is doubled.
(c) The perimeter of a regular octagon of side 6 cm is 36 cm.
(d) To find the cost of a frame of a picture, we need to find the perimeter of the picture.
