Let’s solve each rectangle one by one. We’ll calculate perimeter and area for each.
Remember:
- Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
- Area of a rectangle = length × width
We’ll go in order, top to bottom, left to right.
---
First Rectangle (Yellow): 9cm by 5cm
Perimeter = 2 × (9 + 5) = 2 × 14 =
28 cm
Area = 9 × 5 =
45 cm²
---
Second Rectangle (Orange): 6in by ? — Wait, it looks like a square? The label says “6in” on top, but no side is labeled on the side. Looking at the image again — actually, since it’s drawn as a square and only one dimension is given, we assume all sides are 6in.
So, if it’s a square with side 6in:
Perimeter = 4 × 6 =
24 in
Area = 6 × 6 =
36 in²
*(Note: In the original problem, it’s shown as a square with only “6in” labeled on top — so yes, it’s safe to treat it as a square.)*
---
Third Rectangle (Pink): 4cm — again, drawn as a square, only one side labeled. So side = 4cm
Perimeter = 4 × 4 =
16 cm
Area = 4 × 4 =
16 cm²
---
Fourth Rectangle (Yellow-orange): 7ft by 4ft
Perimeter = 2 × (7 + 4) = 2 × 11 =
22 ft
Area = 7 × 4 =
28 ft²
---
Fifth Rectangle (Blue): 15ft by 8ft
Perimeter = 2 × (15 + 8) = 2 × 23 =
46 ft
Area = 15 × 8 =
120 ft²
---
Sixth Rectangle (Green): 13ft by 9ft
Perimeter = 2 × (13 + 9) = 2 × 22 =
44 ft
Area = 13 × 9 =
117 ft²
---
Seventh Rectangle (Light Blue): 27in by 8in
Perimeter = 2 × (27 + 8) = 2 × 35 =
70 in
Area = 27 × 8 = Let’s compute: 20×8=160, 7×8=56 → 160+56=
216 in²
---
Eighth Rectangle (Purple): 64mm by 8mm
Wait — this one is tricky. It’s labeled “64mm” on the left and “8mm” on top. But visually, it looks tall and narrow — so height = 64mm, width = 8mm.
Perimeter = 2 × (64 + 8) = 2 × 72 =
144 mm
Area = 64 × 8 = Let’s compute: 60×8=480, 4×8=32 → 480+32=
512 mm²
---
Now let’s double-check all calculations quickly:
1. 9x5 → P=2(14)=28, A=45
✔
2. 6x6 → P=24, A=36
✔
3. 4x4 → P=16, A=16
✔
4. 7x4 → P=22, A=28
✔
5. 15x8 → P=46, A=120
✔
6. 13x9 → P=44, A=117
✔
7. 27x8 → P=70, A=216
✔
8. 64x8 → P=144, A=512
✔
All correct!
Final Answer:
Perimeter 28 cm, Area 45 cm²
Perimeter 24 in, Area 36 in²
Perimeter 16 cm, Area 16 cm²
Perimeter 22 ft, Area 28 ft²
Perimeter 46 ft, Area 120 ft²
Perimeter 44 ft, Area 117 ft²
Perimeter 70 in, Area 216 in²
Perimeter 144 mm, Area 512 mm²
