Math Problem Statement

Find the perimeter of each of the given figures (a-f) in the image.

Solution

To solve the problem of finding the perimeter for each figure, let me break down the calculation for each labeled figure in the provided image. The perimeter is the sum of all sides of the figure.


(a) Triangle

The given sides are: 1 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm.

  • Perimeter = 1+2+5=8cm1 + 2 + 5 = 8 \, \text{cm}.

(b) Trapezium

The given sides are: 23 cm, 35 cm, 40 cm, 35 cm.

  • Perimeter = 23+35+40+35=133cm23 + 35 + 40 + 35 = 133 \, \text{cm}.

(c) Parallelogram

The given sides are: 15 cm, 15 cm, 4.5 cm, 4.5 cm.

  • Perimeter = 15+15+4.5+4.5=39cm15 + 15 + 4.5 + 4.5 = 39 \, \text{cm}.

(d) Pentagon

Each side of the pentagon is given as 4 cm.

  • Perimeter = 5×4=20cm5 \times 4 = 20 \, \text{cm}.

(e) Arrow

This figure is a combination of rectangles and a triangular tip:

  • Rectangular portion:
    • The top and bottom horizontal sides are 4 cm each.
    • The two vertical sides are 0.5 cm each.
  • Arrow tip:
    • The slanting sides are 2.5 cm each.
    • The base of the triangle is 4 cm.

Adding all these:

  • Perimeter = 4+4+0.5+0.5+2.5+2.5+4=18cm4 + 4 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 4 = 18 \, \text{cm}.

(f) Complex figure

Add all the given dimensions:

  • Perimeter = 1+4+3+2+3+2+2+4+1+1+1+3+1+4=36cm1 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 4 = 36 \, \text{cm}.

Final Answers:

  • (a) 8 cm
  • (b) 133 cm
  • (c) 39 cm
  • (d) 20 cm
  • (e) 18 cm
  • (f) 36 cm
