उत्तर
- Perimeter of rectangle measuring 1 × 12 cm
= 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (1 + 12)
= 2 x 13
= 26 cm - Perimeter of rectangle measuring 2 × 6 cm
= 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (2 + 6)
= 2 × 8
= 16 cm - Perimeter of rectangle measuring 3 × 4 cm
= 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (3 + 4)
= 2 × 7
= 14 cm
Hence, the rectangle measuring 1 × 12 cm has the longest perimeter.
