Solution


Explanation:

 (i) 

Let the square `square` = 1 unit

Then, perimeter = Sum of all sides

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

= 10 units

(ii) 

Perimeter = Sum of all sides

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

= 12 units

(iii) 

Perimeter = Sum of all sides

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

= 14 units

(iv)

Perimeter = Sum of all sides

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

= 14 units

Hence, smallest perimeter = 10 units

Which is the perimeter of figure (i).
