Let's solve each problem step by step.

Perimeter Problems
1. Rectangle (9 ft × 5 ft)
- Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
- = 2 × (9 + 5) = 2 × 14 =
28 ft
✔ Perimeter = 28 ft
---
2. Triangle (7 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm)
- This is an isosceles triangle with sides: 7 mm, 7 mm, and 8 mm
- Perimeter = sum of all sides
- = 7 + 7 + 8 =
22 mm
✔ Perimeter = 22 mm
---
3. Square (8 mm × 8 mm)
- All sides are equal in a square
- Perimeter = 4 × side
- = 4 × 8 =
32 mm
✔ Perimeter = 32 mm
---
4. Parallelogram (8 in, 4 in)
- Opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram
- So the sides are: 8 in, 4 in, 8 in, 4 in
- Perimeter = 2 × (base + side) = 2 × (8 + 4) = 2 × 12 =
24 in
✔ Perimeter = 24 in
---
Area Problems
5. Square (4 in × 4 in)
- Area of a square = side × side
- = 4 × 4 =
16 in²
✔ Area = 16 in²
---
6. Rectangle (8 ft × 3 ft)
- Area of a rectangle = length × width
- = 8 × 3 =
24 ft²
✔ Area = 24 ft²
---
7. Rectangle (3 mm × 5 mm)
- Area = length × width
- = 3 × 5 =
15 mm²
✔ Area = 15 mm²
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
Perimeter = 28 ft
2.
Perimeter = 22 mm
3.
Perimeter = 32 mm
4.
Perimeter = 24 in
5.
Area = 16 in²
6.
Area = 24 ft²
7.
Area = 15 mm²
