Find the perimeter of the figure below. Notice that one side length is not given.
1 answer:
Answer: 68m
Explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width).
To solve the perimeter of the diagram above, the diagram has been broken down into 2 rectangles. Check the attachment for the diagram.
The first rectangle has sides of 4m and 8m. Therefore, the perimeter will be:
= 2(4m + 8m)
= 2(12m)
= 24m
The second rectangle has sides of 6m and 16m. Therefore, the perimeter will be:
= 2(6m + 16m)
= 2(22m)
= 44m
Therefore, the perimeter of the whole diagram will be:
= 24m + 44m
= 68m
