The shape in the figure is constructed from several identical squares. If the side of each square is 1 unit, what is the area an
d the perimeter of the shape?
1 answer:
Answer:
Area = 7 square units
Perimeter = 14 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape is made up of 7 identical squares and, we are told the side length of each square is 1 unit.
==>Find area of the shape by calculating the area of 1 square, then multiply by the number of square used in the construction.
Thus, area of 1 square = s² = 1² = 1 square units.
Area of shape = 7 × 1 square units = 7 square units
==>Find the Perimeter of the shape by adding all the lengths of the boundary formed by the square to make up the shape.
(Check attachment to understand how we got the measurement of the boundary)
<em>The perimeter = 1 + 1 + 1 + ½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + 1½ + ½ + 1 + 1 + 4 = 14 units</em>

Solving the inequality, it is found that the correct interpretation of the solution is:
Reina's family can drive 83 more miles before they need to refill the gas tank.
The amount x of miles they can still travel is modeled by the following inequality:
To solve it, we treat it similarly to an equality, hence:
Hence:
Reina's family can drive 83 more miles before they need to refill the gas tank.
