Question

Find the perimeter of each of the following figures:

(a)	(b)
(c)	(d)
(e)	(f)

Answer 1

Perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of the lengths of all sides of that polygon.

(a) Perimeter = (4 + 2 +1 + 5) cm = 12 cm

(b) Perimeter = (23 + 35 + 40 + 35) cm = 133 cm

(c) Perimeter = (15 + 15 + 15 + 15) cm = 60 cm

(d) Perimeter = (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4) cm = 20 cm

(e) Perimeter = (1 + 4 + 0.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 0.5 + 4) cm = 15 cm

(f) Perimeter = (1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 52 cm
