00:05 Which shape has the largest perimeter?
00:08 Let's calculate the perimeter of the square.
00:12 The square's perimeter is 4 times the side length.
00:17 We'll use the given side length to find the perimeter.
00:21 And that's the perimeter of the square.
00:23 Now, let's find the perimeter of the rectangle.
00:26 We have the lengths of the rectangle's sides.
00:30 The perimeter is twice the sum of these side lengths.
00:34 Let's substitute the values to find the perimeter.
00:38 And this is the perimeter of the rectangle.
00:41 Next, we'll calculate the circle's perimeter.
00:45 We have the diameter size from the data.
00:48 Using the formula for circumference, let's calculate.
00:52 Substitute the diameter to find the circle's perimeter.
00:56 And this is the circle's perimeter.
01:04 Let's now calculate the trapezoid's perimeter.
01:08 The trapezoid's perimeter is the sum of all its sides.
01:12 And here's the perimeter of the trapezoid.
01:20 And that's the solution to our question. Great job!

Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the perimeters and circumference of the provided figures:

  • **Perimeter of the Rectangle**: Given length l=10l = 10 and width w=2w = 2. Prectangle=2(l+w)=2(10+2)=2×12=24 units P_{\text{rectangle}} = 2(l + w) = 2(10 + 2) = 2 \times 12 = 24 \text{ units}
  • **Perimeter of the Square**: Each side s=4s = 4. Psquare=4×s=4×4=16 units P_{\text{square}} = 4 \times s = 4 \times 4 = 16 \text{ units}
  • **Perimeter of the Trapezoid**: Bases are 7 and 4, sides are both 5. Ptrapezoid=7+4+5+5=21 units P_{\text{trapezoid}} = 7 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 21 \text{ units}
  • **Circumference of the Circle**: Diameter d=14d = 14, so radius r=d2=7r = \frac{d}{2} = 7. Ccircle=2πr=2π×7=14π43.98 units C_{\text{circle}} = 2\pi r = 2\pi \times 7 = 14\pi \approx 43.98 \text{ units}

Now, comparing the values: - Rectangle: 24 units - Square: 16 units - Trapezoid: 21 units - Circle: approximately 43.98 units

Therefore, the circle has the largest perimeter or circumference.

The correct answer is The circle \text{The circle} .
