Solution
Perimeter remains same but area changes
Explanation:
Perimeter of rectangular sheet = 2 × (Length + Breadth)
= 2 × (20 + 10)
= 2 × 30
= 60 cm
∴ A × Breadth = 200 cm2 
Now, perimeter of rectangular sheet after cutting the rectangular piece
= Sum of all sides
= 20 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 15 + 10
= 60 cm
Area = Area of rectangle ABFG + Area of rectangle BCDE
= (Length × Breadth) + (Length × Breadth)
= (15 × 10) + (5 × 8)
= 150 + 40
= 190 sq cm
Hence, perimeter remains the same but area changes after cutting the piece.
