Given rectangle ABCD.
AIFE rectangle, EFHG rectangle.
Find the perimeter of rectangle ABCD.
To find the perimeter of rectangle , follow these steps:
Let's execute each step:
Step 1: The width of the rectangle is the sum of and , giving us .
Step 2: The height of the rectangle can be determined from the sum of , which uses the dimensions of (vertical division), resulting in .
Step 3: Use the perimeter formula:
Therefore, the perimeter of rectangle is .
32
Look at the rectangle below.
Side DC has a length of 1.5 cm and side AD has a length of 9.5 cm.
What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
Look at the vertical segments along one side. The height AD consists of three parts: AE = 2, EG = 2, and GD = 2, so .
The numbers shown are individual segment lengths, not the rectangle's sides! You need to combine segments to find the full width and height before calculating perimeter.
These tell you that AIFE and EFHG are also rectangles within the main rectangle ABCD. This helps confirm that opposite sides are equal and all angles are 90°.
Follow the perimeter of rectangle ABCD: Width AB = AI + IB, and Height AD = AE + EG + GD. The interior rectangles help you see these subdivisions clearly.
For any rectangle: . With width = 10 and height = 6, we get .
