                3.  A polygon has  6  equal  sides.  Each  side  is
                    4 cm in length. Find its perimeter.                            Challenge Question

                4.  Find the perimeter of a triangle whose two                A five-sided shape has a
                    sides  are equal  in  length,  each  measuring            perimeter of 76 cm. Three
                    15 cm and the third side is 18 cm.                        of its sides measure 12 cm,      Critical Thinking

              Riya and Siya are participating in a drawing competition. Both of them have a drawing
              sheet and they want to compare to find out whose sheet offers more space for drawing.











                               Sheet 1                                 Sheet 2









              To know  whose  sheet  offers  more space,  they put  a  square grid  to measure the
              surfaces of the sheets as shown below.
                                                                               1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.
                                                                               unit  unit  unit  unit
                                  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.   1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.

                                  unit  unit  unit  unit  unit  unit  unit     unit  unit  unit  unit
                                  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.   1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.
                                  unit  unit  unit  unit  unit  unit  unit     unit  unit  unit  unit
                                             28 square units                   1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.  1 sq.
                                                                               unit  unit  unit  unit
                                                                                  24 square units

              Clearly, sheet 1 has 28 unit squares and sheet 2 has 24 unit squares. Since sheet 1 has
              more unit squares than sheet 2, sheet 1 has more space than sheet 2 for drawing.

              Thus, we can say that sheet 1 has a larger area than sheet 2.
