The King was very happy with carpenters Cheggu and Anar. They had made a very big and beautiful bed for him. So as gifts the king wanted to give some land to Cheggu, and some gold to Anar. Cheggu was happy. He took 100 meters of wire and tried to make different rectangles.
He made a 10 m × 40 m rectangle. Its area was 400 square meters. So he next made a 30 m × 20 m rectangle.
- What other rectangles can he make with 100 meters of wire? Discuss which of these rectangles will have the biggest area.
Cheggu’s wife asked him to make a circle with the wire. She knew it had an area of 800 square meters.
- Why did Cheggu not choose a rectangle? Explain.
