Example Question #582 : Geometry

Daniel found the perimeter of the rectangle below to be 28 meters.Screenshot_2015-03-25_at_3.14.22_pm

What is the length of the missing side of the rectangle?

Possible Answers:

5 meters

8 meters

6 meters

7 meters

Correct answer:

6 meters

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the formulat 2w + 2l = P.  In other words, twice the width plus twice the length equals the perimeter.

 

Start by finding the length of the given sides.  In this case, 8+8 = 16 meters.

 

Subtract this value from the perimeter of the rectangle:  28 - 16 = 12.

 

The two remaining sides, each X meters long, must add up to 12 meters.  Because opposite sides in a rectangle are the same length, X = 6 meters.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Possible Answers:

25 meters

28 meters

24 meters

26 meters

13 meters

Correct answer:

26 meters

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by adding up all of the sides of the figure.  We know that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length, so the equation to add up all four sides should look like 5+5+8+8 = P.  The perimeter is 26 meters.
