SOLUTION : i. NO 1) AREA SHAPE AREA 4 tiles = 4 x 1 unit = 4 unit. 2) 4 tiles = 4 x 1 unit = 4 unit. 3) 4 tiles = 4 x 1 unit = 4 unit. 4) 4 tiles = 4 x 1 unit = 4 unit. 5) 4 tiles = 4 x 1 unit = 4 unit. PERIMETER 1 side = 1 unit. 10 side = 10 x 1 unit = 10 unit 1 side = 1 unit. 10 side = 10 x 1 unit = 10 unit 1 side = 1 unit. 10 side = 10 x 1 unit = 10 unit 1 side = 1 unit. 10 side = 10 x 1 unit = 10 unit 1 side = 1 unit. 8 side = 8 x 1 unit = 8 unit

Hence, the minimum perimeter is shapes number__ 5______.

SHAPE

AREA 9 tiles = 9 x 1 unit = 9 unit.

PERIMETER 1 side = 1 unit. 12 side = 12 x 1 unit = 12 unit 1 side = 1 unit.

2) 9 tiles = 9 x 1 unit = 9 unit.

20 side = 20 x 1 unit = 20 unit 1 side = 1 unit.

3) 9 tiles = 9 x 1 unit = 9 unit.

18 side = 18 x 1 unit = 18 unit

4) 9 tiles = 9 x 1 unit = 9 unit.

1 side = 1 unit. 20 side = 20 x 1 unit = 12 unit 1 side = 1 unit. 9 tiles = 9 x 1 unit = 9 unit. 20 side = 20 x 1 unit = 20 unit 14 tiles = 14 x 1 9 tiles = 9 x 1 unit = 9 unit. unit = 14 unit.

Conclusion : The area of all shapes are same which are 9 unit.

The shape with minimum perimeter goes to shape number 6 which is 14 unit.

10 tiles =10 x 1 unit = 10 unit.

1 side = 1 unit. 14 side = 14 x 1 unit = 18 unit

10 tiles =10 x 1 unit = 10 unit.

1 side = 1 unit. 18 side = 18 x 1 unit = 18 unit

10 tiles =10 x 1 unit = 10 unit.

1 side = 1 unit. 20 side = 20 x 1 unit = 20 unit

10 tiles =10 x 1 unit = 10 unit.

1 side = 1 unit. 22 side = 22 x 1 unit = 22 unit

10 tiles =10 x 1 unit = 10 unit.

1 side = 1 unit. 22 side = 22 x 1 unit = 22 unit

10 tiles =10 x 1 unit = 10 unit.

1 side = 1 unit. 14 side = 14 x 1 unit = 14 unit

Conclusion : The area of all shapes are same which are 10 unit. The shape with minimum perimeter goes to shape number 1 and 6 which is 14 unit.
