Problem: Solve the perimeter and area for each shape in the provided worksheet.
####
Step 1: Perimeter Calculations
The formula for the perimeter of a shape depends on its type:
-
Rectangle/Square: Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)
-
Triangle: Perimeter = sum of all sides
-
Parallelogram: Perimeter = 2 × (base + side)
#####
Shape 1: Rectangle
- Dimensions: Length = 9 ft, Width = 5 ft
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)
= 2 × (9 + 5)
= 2 × 14
=
28 ft
#####
Shape 2: Triangle
- Sides: 7 mm, 7 mm, 6 mm
- Perimeter = sum of all sides
= 7 + 7 + 6
=
20 mm
#####
Shape 3: Square
- Side length = 8 mm
- Perimeter = 4 × side
= 4 × 8
=
32 mm
#####
Shape 4: Parallelogram
- Base = 9 in, Side = 4 in
- Perimeter = 2 × (base + side)
= 2 × (9 + 4)
= 2 × 13
=
26 in
####
Step 2: Area Calculations
The formula for the area of a shape depends on its type:
-
Rectangle/Square: Area = length × width
-
Triangle: Area = 0.5 × base × height (not applicable here as height is not given)
-
Parallelogram: Area = base × height (not applicable here as height is not given)
#####
Shape 5: Square
- Side length = 4 in
- Area = side × side
= 4 × 4
=
16 square inches
#####
Shape 6: Rectangle
- Length = 8 ft, Width = 3 ft
- Area = length × width
= 8 × 3
=
24 square feet
#####
Shape 7: Rectangle
- Length = 3 mm, Width = 1 mm
- Area = length × width
= 3 × 1
=
3 square millimeters
