  1. (i) ∆ABE, AB = 5/2 cm, BE= (2)3/4 cm, AE= (3)3/5 cm
    The perimeter of ∆ABE = AB + BE + AE
    = 5/2+(2)3/4+(3)3/5 = 5/2+11/4+18/5
    = 50+55+72/20 = 177/20 = (8)17/20 cnm
    Thus, the perimeter of ∆ABE is (8)17/20 cnm.

    (ii) In rectangle BCDE, BE = (2)3/4 cm, ED =7/6 cm
    Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
    =2((2)3/4+7/6) = 2(11/4+7/6)
    =2(33+14/12) = 47/6= (7)5/6 cm
    Thus, the perimeter of rectangle BCDE is (7)5/6 cm.
    Comparing the perimeter of triangle and that of rectangle,
    (8)17/20cm > (7)5/6cm

    Therefore, the perimeter of triangle ABE is greater than that of rectangle BCDE.
