Example Question #431 : Plane Geometry

If Adam draws a rectangle with a long side of 6 cm and a short side of 5 cm, what is the perimeter?

Possible Answers:

$22\ cm$ $\displaystyle 22\ cm$

$11\ cm$ $\displaystyle 11\ cm$

$30\ cm$ $\displaystyle 30\ cm$

$20\ cm$ $\displaystyle 20\ cm$

Correct answer:

$22\ cm$ $\displaystyle 22\ cm$

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, add all four sides:

$6\ cm+6\ cm+5\ cm+5\ cm=22\ cm$ $\displaystyle 6\ cm+6\ cm+5\ cm+5\ cm=22\ cm$

Example Question #432 : Plane Geometry

One rectangular lane in a swimming pool is $\displaystyle 8$ feet wide and 100 $\displaystyle 100$ feet long. What is the area of the lane?

Possible Answers:

100 $\displaystyle 100$ square feet

800 $\displaystyle 800$ square feet

180 $\displaystyle 180$ square feet

$\displaystyle 80$ square feet

Correct answer:

800 $\displaystyle 800$ square feet

Explanation:

Area is calculated for a rectangle as width multiplied by length. In this case, $8 \times 100 = 800$ $\displaystyle 8 \times 100 = 800$ square feet.

Bdaycake

A rectangular birthday cake (shown above) measures 8 inches by 12 inches. What is the perimeter of the cake?

Possible Answers:

$40\ in$ $\displaystyle 40\ in$

$20\ in$ $\displaystyle 20\ in$

$96\ in$ $\displaystyle 96\ in$

$32\ in$ $\displaystyle 32\ in$

Correct answer:

$40\ in$ $\displaystyle 40\ in$

Explanation:

$Perimeter\; of\;a\;rectangle=length+length+width+width= 2l +2w$ $\displaystyle Perimeter\; of\;a\;rectangle=length+length+width+width= 2l +2w$

$\displaystyle Perimeter= 12+12+8+8= 2(12) +2(8)=24+16=40$

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle

Screen_shot_2014-01-02_at_10.15.24_pm

What is the perimeter of the above rectangle?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 36$

$\displaystyle 30$

$\displaystyle 33$

$\displaystyle 3$

$\displaystyle 12$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 30$

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of this rectangle, add all four sides together. Even though we are not given the length of all four sides, we know that opposite sides are always equal.

$\displaystyle 12 + 3 + 12 + 3 = 30$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle

A rectangular table can seat $\displaystyle 4$ people on each of its longer sides and $\displaystyle 2$ people on each of its shorter sides.

How many people are at the table when all the seats are filled?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 16$ people

$\displaystyle 8$ people

$\displaystyle 12$ people

$\displaystyle 10$ people

$\displaystyle 6$ people

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 12$ people

Explanation:

Since a rectangle has two pairs of equal-length sides, multiply the number of people that can sit on each side by $\displaystyle 2$ , then add these numbers together to find the total number of people that can sit at the table.

$(2\times4) + (2\times 2) = 8 + 4 = 12$ $\displaystyle (2\times4) + (2\times 2) = 8 + 4 = 12$ people

Example Question #443 : Plane Geometry

What is the PERIMETER of the rectangle in the image?

Possible Answers:

90 cm

40 cm

80 cm

300 cm

Correct answer:

80 cm

Explanation:

Because the problem asks you to find the perimeter, you are looking for the total distance around the outside of the shape. The problem also tells you that the figure is a rectangle, so you know that all the sides are 10 cm and 30 cm. Adding all four sides gives the perimeter: $10 \: cm + 10 \: cm + 30 \: cm + 30 \: cm = 80\: cm$ $\displaystyle 10 \: cm + 10 \: cm + 30 \: cm + 30 \: cm = 80\: cm$
