I'll solve the area and perimeter problems for each shape on this worksheet. Let me go through them one by one.
Problem 1: Rectangle
- Dimensions: 10m (length) × 4m (width)
- Area = length × width = 10m × 4m = 40m²
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (10m + 4m) = 2 × 14m = 28m
Problem 2: Triangle
- Base = 9m, Height = 6m
- Area = (base × height) ÷ 2 = (9m × 6m) ÷ 2 = 54m² ÷ 2 = 27m²
- Perimeter: Since we only have the base and height, and no information about the other two sides, we cannot calculate the perimeter with the given information.
Problem 3: Square
- Side length = 7m
- Area = side × side = 7m × 7m = 49m²
- Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 7m = 28m
Problem 4: Triangle
- Base = 8m, Height = 12m
- Area = (base × height) ÷ 2 = (8m × 12m) ÷ 2 = 96m² ÷ 2 = 48m²
- Perimeter: Again, we only have the base and height, so we cannot calculate the perimeter without additional information about the other sides.
Problem 5: Rectangle
- Dimensions: 20m (length) × 7m (width)
- Area = length × width = 20m × 7m = 140m²
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (20m + 7m) = 2 × 27m = 54m
Problem 6: Rectangle
- Dimensions: 11m (length) × 8m (width)
- Area = length × width = 11m × 8m = 88m²
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (11m + 8m) = 2 × 19m = 38m
Summary of Answers:
1. Area: 40m², Perimeter: 28m
2. Area: 27m², Perimeter: Cannot be determined with given information
3. Area: 49m², Perimeter: 28m
4. Area: 48m², Perimeter: Cannot be determined with given information
5. Area: 140m², Perimeter: 54m
6. Area: 88m², Perimeter: 38m
