PerimeterThe perimeter of a figure is the total distance around the edge of the figure. For example, a square whose sides are 6 inches long has a perimeter of 6 x 4 = 24 inches because it has 4 sides 6 inches long. A rectangle whose length and width are 4 meters and 3 meters has a perimeter of 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 14 meters. Now, can you tell me what the perimeter of this rectangle? Hint: Don't forget the sides that aren't labeled! Now, here's a problem for you: Find the perimeter of this shape made up of rectangles: (label the 2 unlabeled sides first) Perimeter = _____ m. |
