Question

What is the area of each small square in the given figure if the area of entire figure is 96 sq cm. Find the perimeter of the figure.

Answer 1

We have 24 small squares in the figure.

Area of the entire figure = 96 sq cm

∴ The area of one small square = 96/24 sq cm = 4 sq cm

Thus, area of each small square = 4 sq cm

⇒ (side) × (side) = 4 sq cm

⇒ side = √4 cm = 2 cm

Now, perimeter of the given figure = 34 × 2 cm = 68 cm
