Let's solve the problem step by step.
We are asked to
find the perimeter of each rectangle and square. The
perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
$$
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
$$
For a
square, all sides are equal, so:
$$
\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \text{side}
$$
Now let’s go through each shape one by one.
---
1. Rectangle: 18 cm × 13 cm
$$
P = 2 \times (18 + 13) = 2 \times 31 = 62\ \text{cm}
$$
---
2. Rectangle: 9 cm × 8 cm
$$
P = 2 \times (9 + 8) = 2 \times 17 = 34\ \text{cm}
$$
---
3. Square: 15 cm × 15 cm
$$
P = 4 \times 15 = 60\ \text{cm}
$$
---
4. Rectangle: 13 cm × 13 cm
This is actually a
square since both sides are equal.
$$
P = 4 \times 13 = 52\ \text{cm}
$$
---
5. Rectangle: 13 cm × 9 cm
$$
P = 2 \times (13 + 9) = 2 \times 22 = 44\ \text{cm}
$$
---
6. Rectangle: 7 cm × 6 cm
$$
P = 2 \times (7 + 6) = 2 \times 13 = 26\ \text{cm}
$$
---
7. Rectangle: 15 cm × 14 cm
$$
P = 2 \times (15 + 14) = 2 \times 29 = 58\ \text{cm}
$$
---
8. Rectangle: 8 cm × 9 cm
$$
P = 2 \times (8 + 9) = 2 \times 17 = 34\ \text{cm}
$$
