Question

Find the perimeter of the figure.
7 mi
7 mi

Answer 1

The perimeter of the figure is 28 mi

Explanation:

Perimeter of a Square

Given a square shape of side length A, the perimeter can be found using the expression below:

P = 4*A

Recall the perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths.

Since the figure shows a square with side length A=7 mi, the perimeter is:

P = 4 * 7 mi = 28 mi

The perimeter of the figure is 28 mi

Answer 2

28mi

Explanation:

The perimeter of a figure is the total length of its outline, so a sum of all its lengths.

In the diagram we are given two of them, both 7, but not the other two.

Luckily these can be easily worked out.

Since this is a square figure (all angles 90-degrees), all parallel sides will be exactly equal in length. This means both of the unknown sides are 7mi long as well. This means the total perimeter is the sum of all four sides, each of which are 7mi.

7+7+7+7 (OR 4x7) = 28 mi

Hope this helped!
