Question

How so you find area and perimeter of shapes?

Answer 1

Which shape?

Answer 2

a square that has 3 feet by 6 feet,then a square that has e feet by 4 feet

Answer 3

Multiply one side by another for the area. 3*6=

Answer 4

And for the Perimeter 3+3+6+6 (add all the sides together)

Answer 5

It is like a H the long part is 3 feet by 6 feet, the the inside of the H is 4 feet by 3 feet

Answer 6

Hmmm.... I'm trying to understand the shape. Are both the long parts 3 by 6? and the middle part 4 by 3?

Answer 7

YES

Answer 8

ok. The area is found the same way. 3*6 + 3*6 + 4*3 =

Answer 9

and the Perimeter you have to think about it a bit.

Answer 10

it's 38 feet

Answer 11

How did you get 38 feet?

Answer 12

I'll post up a picture... (the things I do eh?! lol!)

Answer 13

Thanks!

Answer 14

Ok. Here we go, let me upload the ARTISTIC images I drew

Answer 15

http://i53.tinypic.com/b9ds42.png Image 1: This is how I imagined the shape you described to be. These are the obvious lengths that you can add up

Answer 16

6+6+3+3+3+3+4+4=32

Answer 17

Now for the other parts...

Answer 18

http://i54.tinypic.com/2a5kbax.png - Here we need to find the length of the "?"

Answer 19

the middle part is 3 feet and the long part is 6 feet. We just subtract them. 6 - 3 = 3. BUT 3 is the length of both the top "?" and the bottom "?" of one side.

Answer 20

3/2=1.5 feet. There are 4 of these 1.5 parts so: 4*1.5 = 6 Feet.

Answer 21

Add this 6 feet to the 32 feet we had earlier is 38 feet.

Answer 22

thank you so much

Answer 23

No worries!
