Example Question #11 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra

A rectangle has a width of  feet and a length of  feet. What is the perimeter of the rectangle? 

Possible Answers:

 feet 

 square feet 

 feet 

 square feet 

 feet 

Correct answer:

 feet 

Explanation:

Recall that perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of a shape. Thus, we are adding up all sides of the rectangle. A rectangle has two sides that are the length and two sides that are the width. Thus, 

 feet. 

Perimeter is a measure of length, and not area (or square feet), so our units are just feet. 

Example Question #11 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra

Rectangle ABCD is subdivided into two identical square regions. If the area of each square is , what is the perimeter of ABCD

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Given that the area of each square is , the side length of each square is . To find the perimeter of the entire shape, one must add up the lenghts of the sides of the shape. Thus the sides of the rectangle are each , and the bases are  (because the squares are connected). Adding them all together gives us .

Example Question #1 : How To Find If Rhombuses Are Similar

A quadrilateral ABCD has diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors of one another. Which of the following classifications must apply to quadrilateral ABCD?

 

I. parallelogram

II. rhombus

III. square

 

 

Possible Answers:

II and III only

I and II only

I, II, and III

I and III only

Correct answer:

I and II only

Explanation:

If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular bisectors of one another, then the quadrilateral must be a rhombus, but not necessarily a square. Since all rhombi are also parallelograms, quadrilateral ABCD must be both a rhombus and parallelogram.
