Draw a figure with a perimeter of 24, using 11 squares
To draw a figure with a perimeter of 24 using 11 squares, we need to determine how many sides each square has and how they can be arranged.
First, let's find the number of sides of the squares. Each square has four sides.
Next, let's determine the maximum number of squares we can use to form the perimeter. Since the perimeter is 24, and each square has four sides, we divide the perimeter by four: 24/4 = 6. This means we can use a maximum of six squares to form the perimeter.
However, we need to use 11 squares, which is more than six. So, we will start by outlining the perimeter using six squares and then add additional squares to make a total of 11.
Here's one possible arrangement:
- Start by aligning four squares in a row. This accounts for eight sides (4 squares x 2 sides each = 8).
- Place two additional squares on top of the fourth square, one on each side. This accounts for four additional sides (2 squares x 2 sides each = 4).
- Add one square on top of the sixth square.
- Place another square on top of the seventh square, overlapping the second square.
- Finally, add two more squares on top of the ninth square, one on each side, overlapping the first square.
By following these steps, you can form a figure with a perimeter of 24 using 11 squares.
