To solve the problem, we need to calculate the
perimeter and
area for each shape provided in the image. Let's go through each shape step by step.
---
Shape 1: Rectangle
#### Dimensions:
- Length = 20 inches
- Width = 17 inches
#### Perimeter:
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})
\]
Substitute the given values:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (20 + 17) = 2 \times 37 = 74 \text{ inches}
\]
#### Area:
The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}
\]
Substitute the given values:
\[
\text{Area} = 20 \times 17 = 340 \text{ square inches}
\]
#### Answers:
-
Perimeter: 74 inches
-
Area: 340 square inches

Shape 2: Triangle
#### Dimensions:
- Base = 25 cm
- Height = 15 cm (one of the sides perpendicular to the base)
- Other sides = 30 cm (hypotenuse)
#### Perimeter:
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = \text{Side 1} + \text{Side 2} + \text{Side 3}
\]
Substitute the given values:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 25 + 15 + 30 = 70 \text{ cm}
\]
#### Area:
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
Substitute the given values:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 25 \times 15 = \frac{1}{2} \times 375 = 187.5 \text{ square cm}
\]
#### Answers:
-
Perimeter: 70 cm
-
Area: 187.5 square cm

Shape 3: Irregular Shape (L-shaped figure)
#### Dimensions:
- The shape can be divided into two rectangles:
- Rectangle 1: 10 ft × 18 ft
- Rectangle 2: 8 ft × 10 ft
#### Perimeter:
To find the perimeter, count all the outer edges:
- Top edge: 18 ft
- Right edge: 10 ft
- Bottom edge: 10 ft + 8 ft = 18 ft
- Left edge: 10 ft + 10 ft = 20 ft
Add all the edges:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 18 + 10 + 18 + 20 = 66 \text{ feet}
\]
#### Area:
Calculate the area of each rectangle and add them together:
- Area of Rectangle 1: \( 10 \times 18 = 180 \text{ square feet} \)
- Area of Rectangle 2: \( 8 \times 10 = 80 \text{ square feet} \)
Total area:
\[
\text{Area} = 180 + 80 = 260 \text{ square feet}
\]
#### Answers:
-
Perimeter: 66 feet
-
Area: 260 square feet

Shape 4: Irregular Shape (T-shaped figure)
#### Dimensions:
- The shape can be divided into two rectangles:
- Rectangle 1: 70 m × 15 m
- Rectangle 2: 40 m × 70 m
#### Perimeter:
To find the perimeter, count all the outer edges:
- Top edge: 70 m
- Right edge: 70 m
- Bottom edge: 70 m
- Left edge: 15 m + 40 m + 15 m = 70 m
Add all the edges:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 70 + 70 + 70 + 70 = 280 \text{ meters}
\]
#### Area:
Calculate the area of each rectangle and add them together:
- Area of Rectangle 1: \( 70 \times 15 = 1050 \text{ square meters} \)
- Area of Rectangle 2: \( 40 \times 70 = 2800 \text{ square meters} \)
Total area:
\[
\text{Area} = 1050 + 2800 = 3850 \text{ square meters}
\]
#### Answers:
-
Perimeter: 280 meters
-
Area: 3850 square meters
