12 feet

14 feet

26 feet

38 feet


2.)What is the perimeter of the shape?


30 inches

40 inches

60 inches

72 inches

Answer 1

1. The perimeter of shape is 33 ft.

2. The perimeter of the shape is 40 in ( option B)

The perimeter of a shape is the total length of its boundary or the sum of all its sides. It measures the distance around the shape and is calculated by adding the lengths of its individual sides.

1. The unknown side of the figure is calculated as;

10-3 = 7ft.

The perimeter of the figure is obtained by adding all the sides;

Perimeter = 10+7 + 4 + 3 + 9

= 33 ft.

Therefore the perimeter of the figure is 33ft.

2. The perimeter of the shape = 6 + 6+ 10+5+4+3+2+4 = 40 in

Answer 2

Perimeter for first shape = 38 ft

Perimeter for second shape = 40 inches ..

Explanation:

First we will define the perimeter.

The continuous line which forms the boundary of a closed geometric figure.

To find the perimeter of any geometrical shape the lengths of its outer boundary lines are added.

So for the first shape with sides 10ft, 4ft, 3ft and 9ft, we don't know the lengths of two sides

1. The side parallel to the 10ft side

and

2. The side parallel to 9ft side.

So the lengths of side will be:

For 1,

10-3 = 7ft

For 2,

9-4= 5ft

the perimeter will be:

=> 10+4+3+9+5+7

=> 38 ft

And for the second shape with sides 6 in ,5 in, 4 in, 3 in, 2 in and 10 in,

the length of one unknown side will be 6 inches as it is parallel and equal in length to the side with 6 in length,

And the length of side that is parallel to the side with length 4 inches will be same.

The perimeter will be:

=>6+5+4+3+2+10+6+4

=> 40 inches

So,

Perimeter for first shape = 38 ft

Perimeter for second shape = 40 inches ..
