Solution
We have, area of one rectangle = 8 m2
And breadth = 2 m
We know that,
Area of rectangle = l × b
⇒ l × b = 8
⇒ l × 2 = 8
⇒ l = 4 m
Now, we have to find the perimeter of MNOP, which contains four congruent rectangles, it means they have same length and breadth.
∴ Perimeter of rectangle MNOP = MN + NC + CD + DO + PO + PF + FA + MA
= 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2
= 24 m
Hence, the perimeter of MNOP is 24 m.
