To find the perimeter of each polygon, we simply add up the lengths of all its sides. Let’s go step by step for each shape:
---
Shape 1 (Kite):
Sides: 2.7 m, 3.9 m, 2.7 m, 3.9 m
Add them:
2.7 + 3.9 = 6.6
6.6 + 2.7 = 9.3
9.3 + 3.9 =
13.2 m
---
Shape 2 (Rhombus):
All sides are 4.6 ft
There are 4 sides:
4.6 × 4 =
18.4 ft
---
Shape 3 (Triangle):
Sides: 3 mm, 5 mm, 5 mm
Add:
3 + 5 = 8
8 + 5 =
13 mm
---
Shape 4 (Rectangle):
Sides: 12 in, 4 in, 12 in, 4 in
Add:
12 + 4 = 16
16 + 12 = 28
28 + 4 =
32 in
*(Or use formula: 2×(length + width) = 2×(12+4)=2×16=32)*
---
Shape 5 (Trapezoid):
Sides: 10 cm, 4.5 cm, 17 cm, 4.5 cm
Add:
10 + 4.5 = 14.5
14.5 + 17 = 31.5
31.5 + 4.5 =
36 cm
---
Shape 6 (Triangle):
Sides: 3.5 cm, 3.9 cm, 3.9 cm
Add:
3.5 + 3.9 = 7.4
7.4 + 3.9 =
11.3 cm
---
Shape 7 (Parallelogram):
Sides: 14 yd, 10 yd, 14 yd, 10 yd
Add:
14 + 10 = 24
24 + 14 = 38
38 + 10 =
48 yd
*(Or 2×(14+10)=2×24=48)*
---
Shape 8 (Pentagon):
All sides are 1.5 m → 5 sides
1.5 × 5 =
7.5 m
---
Final Answer:
1. 13.2 m
2. 18.4 ft
3. 13 mm
4. 32 in
5. 36 cm
6. 11.3 cm
7. 48 yd
8. 7.5 m
