Question : 117 of 150

Marks: +1, -0

Column A	Column B
Perimeter of a square with each side equal to 8 cm	Perimeter of a regular pentagon with each side equal to 5 cm

Solution:

Concept:

Perimeter formulas for regular shapes are used to compare the two quantities.

Explanation:

Column A is a square with side

= 8

cm.

Perimeter of square

= 4 \times \text{side} = 4 \times 8 = 32

cm.

Column B is a regular pentagon with side

= 5

cm.

Perimeter of pentagon

= 5 \times \text{side} = 5 \times 5 = 25

cm.

Since

32

> 25

cm, the quantity in Column A is greater than the quantity in Column B.

Answer:

Option A: If the quantity in Column A is greater than the quantity in Column B.
