2000 AMC 8 Problem 18
Consider these two geoboard quadrilaterals. Which of the following statements is true?
![[asy] for (int a = 0; a < 5; ++a) { for (int b = 0; b < 5; ++b) { dot((a,b)); } } draw((0,3)--(0,4)--(1,3)--(1,2)--cycle); draw((2,1)--(4,2)--(3,1)--(3,0)--cycle); label("I",(0.4,3),E); label("II",(2.9,1),W); [/asy]](/static/aops/6c83ebd88108fd56e5ee23dfd7195ffc2dd808b9.png)
\text{(A)}\ \text{The area of quadrilateral I is more than the area of quadrilateral II.}
\text{(B)}\ \text{The area of quadrilateral I is less than the area of quadrilateral II.}
\text{(C)}\ \text{The quadrilaterals have the same area and the same perimeter.}
\text{(D)}\ \text{The quadrilaterals have the same area, but the perimeter of I is more than the perimeter of II.}
\text{(E)}\ \text{The quadrilaterals have the same area, but the perimeter of I is less than the perimeter of II.}
