Given that,
Length of each slab = 1/2 m
So, the length of the square = 3/2\ m


(a) The first figure is a square
So, the perimeter of the square = 4 \times side
                                                   = 4 \times 3/2 m = 6\ m

(b) The perimeter of the 2nd figure
= Sum of all the sides
= (4\times \frac{1}{2} + 8 \times 1)
= 10 m

(c) Figure (ii) has a greater perimeter than fig (i)

(d) Arrange all the slab in horizontally, it forms a rectangle whose dimensions are \frac{9}{2}\ by\ \frac{1}{2}
