The easiest way to reason this is to consider how you could connect nine squares together while leaving the largest amount of perimeter exposed. In other words, what's the largest number of faces you can leave exposed on a set of squares that are all connected?
The answer is that if you connect all of the squares in a line, then the two end squares will have three faces exposed and the other seven squares will have two faces exposed. That gives you 2 * 7 * 2cm + 3 * 2 * 2cm = 28cm + 12cm = 40cm. So the maximum perimeter you can get is 40cm.
There are many other ways that you can arrange the squares to give you the same perimeter (eg. a plus sign, a zig-zag, and so on), but none that will give you more.

How do you measure perimeter of 6cm x 2 cm?
A 6cm X 2cm shape is a rectangle. Two sides are 6cm, and the other two are 2cm. Therefore, 6+6 + 2+2 = 16cm.
Show you 2 rectanglesthat have the same area and different perimeter?
A rectangle with sides of 1cm and 6cm has an area of 6 cm2 and a perimeter of 14 cm. A rectangle with sides of 2cm and 3cm has the same area but its perimeter is 10 cm.
How many different rectangles can you draw with a perimeter of 16 cm?
It depends what units you use for each side ! A 1cm x 15cm rectangle has a perimeter of 16cm. So does a 2cm x 4cm one ! If you start using millimetres, there are many more possibilities !
What is the volume of a cube that has sides of length 2cm?
Oh, dude, it's like super easy! So, the volume of a cube is just the length of one side cubed. So, if each side is 2cm, you just do 2 x 2 x 2, which equals 8 cubic centimeters. Ta-da!
What is the surface area of a 2cm x 2cm x 2cm cube?
A cube has six square faces. This cubes faces are 2 x 2 ie 4cm2 so overall surface area is 24 cm2.
What is the perimeter of a square if it has an area of 4 centimetre squares?
Your square must have sides of 2cm so perimeter is 8cm.
What is the perimeter of 5cm and 2cm?
The perimeter is the total distance around a two-dimensional shape. To find the perimeter of a shape, you need to add up all the lengths of its sides. In this case, the perimeter of a shape with sides measuring 5cm and 2cm would be 5cm + 5cm + 2cm + 2cm = 14cm.
What is the perimeter for 2Cm 2Cm 2Cm 3Cm 5Cm and 11Cm?
Oh, what a lovely collection of sides you have there! To find the perimeter, simply add up all the sides: 2cm + 2cm + 2cm + 3cm + 5cm + 11cm. Just like adding up happy little friends in a painting, you'll get the total perimeter of this shape. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!
6cm by 2cm What is the perimeter?
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding together all four sides. In this case, the rectangle has a length of 6cm and a width of 2cm. To find the perimeter, you would add the length (6cm) + width (2cm) + length (6cm) + width (2cm) = 16cm. Therefore, the perimeter of a rectangle with sides measuring 6cm by 2cm is 16cm.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle 2cm times 15cm?
30cm
What is the perimeter of a rectanlge 2cm x 15cm?
34 cm
What is the perimeter of a 4cm by 2cm rectangle?
12cm
You have 8 squares each one is 2cm and what is it in cm2?
32 cm2
How many squares in a 4x4 squre grid?
Assuming it is 4cm x 4cm, then there would be 16 1cm x 1cm squares. * * * * * But, there are also 9 2cm x 2cm squares, 4 3cm x 3cm squares and 1 4cm x 4cm square. That makes 30 in all.
What is the perimeter of a square if it has an area of 4cm square?
Since all four sides are equal in a square, a square with an area of 4cm2 must be 2cm on each side. Therefore, the perimeter is 2cm x 4 = 8cm.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length of 2 cm and width of 4 cm?
12cm
What is the perimeter of a square with a side of 2cm?
8cm (4 x 2 = 8)
