Question

Two sides of a shape are drawn here. Complete the shape by drawing two more sides so that its area is less than 2 square cm.

Explain

Solution


If two lines are joined, we get a triangle. The area of the triangle is 1 square cm. A mirror image of the triangle is drawn below the triangle to get a rectangle.

The area of this rectangle is 2 square cm. Now, draw a point just above the bottom vertex of the rectangle and join the given sides with this point. This will give a rectangle with an area of less than 2 square cm.
