number 3
do I need to cut the square in half
@angle
To find the perimeter you have to add up the length everything around it For example, |dw:1615899329697:dw| you would have to add up all of the sides which is 9 + 9 + 8 + 8 = 34 So the perimeter would be 34 for the area, I believe you can cut the square in half then find the area of both squares then add it together,
@az
i thought you had to Xs all the sides up >.<
hmmm
tbh IDK how to do any of it
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @lilcutie2 do I need to cut the square in half \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) not square, you have to make it two rectangles Like this
We need a better screenshot since the numbers at the bottom got cut but for perimeter- it's straightforward, just add the lengths of all the sides for area, you find the area of each rectangle and add them together

there you go so what is the length of this side that I'm marking in red? Remember, the entire side is 12 on the left side but on the right side, we only have 9 so that means the red side is the difference between the two numbers so it has to add with 9 to make 12
so 3
after that, you should be able to find the perimeter you just add up all the sides
Yup! So add up all the sides we have a side with 12, 9, 12, 6, and 3 add them all up
42
that's your perimeter!
To find the area, we need to find the area of both rectangles and add them up so let me separate the two rectangles area = length * width what are the areas of both rectangles? |dw:1615900503256:dw|
so 9 times 6
no, each rectangle is separate
one of them is 6 by 3 the other is 9 by 12
don't get confused by the 12 in your question- that was the entire length but when you split it into two rectangles, you get one with a side of 3 and the other with a side of 9 |dw:1615900637165:dw|
what is the area of the rectangle on top? you just have to multiply the two sides
18 and 108
for the first one 18 the second 108
good so the area for the entire figure is going to be the area of the two smaller shapes added together so area = 18 + 108 area =
a=126
and that's your answer for the area :)
