Math Problem Statement

The worksheet focuses on solving for the perimeter of rectangles and squares using formulas. It asks students to compute two problems based on given formulas.

Solution

The image is a worksheet focused on finding the perimeter of shapes using formulas. Let me explain the two problems in detail:


Problem 1: Perimeter of a Square

  • Formula: P=4SP = 4S, where SS is the side length of the square.
  • Steps:
    1. Identify the side length of the square (SS) from the packet or example.
    2. Substitute SS into the formula.
    3. Multiply by 4 to find PP, the perimeter.

Problem 2: Perimeter of a Rectangle

  • Formula: P=2L+2WP = 2L + 2W, where LL is the length and WW is the width of the rectangle.
  • Steps:
    1. Identify LL (length) and WW (width) from the packet or example.
    2. Substitute LL and WW into the formula.
    3. Perform the arithmetic to find PP, the perimeter.

Would you like to proceed with specific values or details from your packet? Let me know so I can help!


Relative Questions:

  1. What are the side lengths for the square in problem 1?
  2. What are the length and width of the rectangle in problem 2?
  3. Can you explain why the formulas for the square and rectangle are different?
  4. What happens to the perimeter if the side of the square doubles?
  5. How can these formulas apply to real-world situations, like fencing a yard?

Tip: Always substitute the values carefully into formulas to avoid calculation errors.
