Math Problem Statement

Perimiter of polygons

The perimeter of this rectangle is requested, with dimensions 10.1 meters (length) and 6.3 meters (width).

Solution

The shape in the image is a rectangle, with a length of 10.1 meters and a width of 6.3 meters.

The formula for the perimeter PP of a rectangle is:

P=2×(Length+Width)P = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})

Substituting the values:

P=2×(10.1m+6.3m)=2×16.4m=32.8mP = 2 \times (10.1 \, \text{m} + 6.3 \, \text{m}) = 2 \times 16.4 \, \text{m} = 32.8 \, \text{m}

Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle is 32.8 meters.

  2. How would the perimeter change if the length increased by 2 meters?
  3. How does the perimeter formula apply to other polygons, such as triangles or pentagons?
  4. Can you find the diagonal of the rectangle using Pythagoras' theorem?
  5. What is the perimeter of a square with the same area as this rectangle?

Tip: Remember, the perimeter is the total distance around the shape, adding all the sides together!
