Question

Help!!! A student Is given the rectangle and square shown. The student states that the two figures have the same perimeter. Is this still in correct? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

yes figures have the same perimeter

Explanation:

The opposite sides of the rectangle are equal , then

perimeter = 2(x + 4) + 2x = 2x + 8 + 2x = 4x + 8

The square has 4 equal sides , then

perimeter = 4(x + 2) = 4x + 8

Then the figures have the same perimeter
