To solve these problems, we need to find the perimeter of each shape. The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape. To find it, we simply add up the lengths of all the sides.
Problem 1: Vegetable Patch
* Side 1: 14m
* Side 2: 9m
* Side 3: 14m
* Side 4: 9m
* Calculation: 14 + 9 + 14 + 9 = 46
* Perimeter: 46m
Problem 2: TV Lights
* Top: 300cm
* Bottom: 300cm
* Left: 200cm
* Right: 200cm
* Calculation: 300 + 300 + 200 + 200 = 1000
* Perimeter: 1000cm
Problem 3: Swimming Pool
* Side 1: 25m
* Side 2: 10m
* Side 3: 25m
* Side 4: 10m
* Calculation: 25 + 10 + 25 + 10 = 70
* Perimeter: 70m
Problem 4: Rabbit Enclosure
* Top: 6m
* Right (top part): 4m
* Right (middle horizontal): 4m
* Right (bottom vertical): 4m
* Bottom: 6m
* Left (bottom vertical): 4m
* Left (middle horizontal): 4m
* Left (top vertical): 4m
* Calculation: 6 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 36
* Perimeter: 36m
Problem 5: Poster (Letter L)
* Top: 2cm
* Inner vertical: 8cm
* Inner horizontal: 6cm
* Bottom right vertical: 2cm
* Bottom: 8cm
* Left: 10cm
* Calculation: 2 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 8 + 10 = 36
* Perimeter: 36cm
Problem 6: Basketball Court
* Top: 10m
* Bottom: 10m
* Left: 15m
* Right: 15m
* Calculation: 10 + 10 + 15 + 15 = 50
* Perimeter: 50m
Final Answer:
1. 46m
2. 1000cm
3. 70m
4. 36m
5. 36cm
6. 50m
