To find the perimeter of a shape, we add up the lengths of all its sides. Let's go through each shape one by one.
1. Blue Square (Top Left)
* All four sides are 4 cm long.
* Calculation: $4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16$
* Perimeter:
16 cm
2. Orange Rectangle (Top Middle)
* The top and bottom sides are 6 ft.
* The left and right sides are 2 ft.
* Calculation: $6 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 16$
* Perimeter:
16 ft
3. Red Triangle (Top Right)
* All three sides are 8 inches long.
* Calculation: $8 + 8 + 8 = 24$
* Perimeter:
24 inches
4. Green Parallelogram (Middle Left)
* Two sides are 5 m long.
* Two sides are 6 m long.
* Calculation: $5 + 5 + 6 + 6 = 22$
* Perimeter:
22 m
5. Purple Trapezoid (Middle Center)
* Top side is 6 cm.
* Bottom side is 9 cm.
* Two slanted sides are 2 cm each.
* Calculation: $6 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 19$
* Perimeter:
19 cm
6. Blue Triangle (Middle Right)
* One side is 7 ft.
* Two sides are 9 ft each.
* Calculation: $7 + 9 + 9 = 25$
* Perimeter:
25 ft
7. Orange Hexagon (Bottom Left)
* It has six sides, and each side is 9 cm long.
* Calculation: $9 \times 6 = 54$ (or $9+9+9+9+9+9$)
* Perimeter:
54 cm
8. Dark Blue Rectangle (Bottom Middle)
* Two sides are 7 m long.
* Two sides are 4 m long.
* Calculation: $7 + 7 + 4 + 4 = 22$
* Perimeter:
22 m
9. Red Triangle (Bottom Right)
* Bottom side is 10 ft.
* Two slanted sides are 12 ft each.
* Calculation: $10 + 12 + 12 = 34$
* Perimeter:
34 ft
Final Answer:
1. 16 cm
2. 16 ft
3. 24 inches
4. 22 m
5. 19 cm
6. 25 ft
7. 54 cm
8. 22 m
9. 34 ft
