Solution
Shapes 1, 3 and 4 have different areas and different perimeters.
Explanation:
(a) Shape 1

Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 22 units
Area = 18 × 1
= 18 sq.units
(b) Shape 2

Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 18 units
Area = 18 × 1
= 18 sq.units
(c) Shape 3

Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1+ 1
= 22 units
Area = 16 × 1
= 16 sq.units
(d) Shape 4

Perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 22 units
Area = 18 × 1
= 18 sq.units
