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.

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.
