From a square with a side of 6 cm, a square with a side of 4 cm was cut using two cuts.

From a square with a side of 6 cm, a square with a side of 4 cm was cut using two cuts. What is the perimeter of the remaining figure?

1. When, according to the condition of the problem, a smaller one with a side of 4 cm was cut off from a square with a side of 6 cm, we got a figure whose two sides remained unchanged, and from the other two, segments of 6 cm – 4 cm = 2 cm were formed.

But to the perimeter two segments of the incised second square were added, the length of which is equal to its side.

2. Let’s calculate what the value of the perimeter of the resulting figure is equal to:

2 * 6 cm + 2 * 4 cm + 2 * 2 cm = 12 cm + 8 cm + 4 cm + 24 cm.

Answer: The perimeter of the remaining figure is 24 centimeters.
