Question 2
2.1 Perimeter 1 = 2L + 2B = 2(a) + 2(b) = 2a + 2b
Perimeter 2 = 2(2a) + 2(b/2) = 4a + b
Now , if 4a + b = 2a + 2b
2a – b = 0
b = 2a
Hence the two rectangles have the same perimeter whenever b = 2a , where a and b
are real numbers.
, Area of rectangle 1 = Length x Breadth
=axb
= ab
Area of rectangle 2 = Length x Breadth
= 2a x (b/2)
= ab
Hence the two rectangles have the same area for all real values of a and b.
2.2 Perimeter of a dodecagon = 12S
= 12( 7cm)
= 84 cm
2.3 Perimeter of an equilateral Octagon = 8S
42 = 8S
S = 42/8
S = 21/4
S = 5.25 cm
2.4
Perimeter of figure = 2(x -3) + 2(x + 8) + 16
94 = 2x – 6 + 2x + 16 + 16
94 -26 = 4x
68 = 4x
x = 68/4
