Example Questions

Example Question #21 : Geometry

A farmer wants to build a rectangular fence to enclose a $144\ \textup{ft}^2$ yard. If the yard is square, how many feet of fence will he need?

Possible Answers:

$12\ \textup{ft}$

$36\ \textup{ft}$

$48\ \textup{ft}$

$576\ \textup{ft}$

$144\ \textup{ft}$

Correct answer:

$48\ \textup{ft}$

Explanation:

The area of a square is A=s*s . Since our area is 144ft^2 ,

144ft^2=s^2 .

Take the square root of both sides.

$\sqrt{144ft^2}=\sqrt{s^2}$

12ft=s

The perimeter of a square is the sum of all four sides. Since all sides are equal, we can say that, for a square, the formula for a perimter would be P=4s .

Plug in what we just found:

P=4s

P=4*12ft

P=48ft

Example Question #641 : High School Math

Rectangle

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Possible Answers:

AB + DC

$2\left(AD\right ) + 2\left ( BC\right )$

$2\left(AB\right ) + 2\left ( AD\right )$

$4\left ( AD\right )$

$4\left ( AB\right )$

Correct answer:

$2\left(AB\right ) + 2\left ( AD\right )$

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the length of each of the four sides.

AB + BC + CD + AD

Since

AD = BC

AB = CD

substitute each in:

$AB + AD + AB + AD = 2\left ( AB\right )+2\left ( AD\right )$

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length 8 inches and width 10 inches.

Possible Answers:

$36\ inches$

$18\ inches$

$20\ inches$

$100\ inches$

$48\ inches$

Correct answer:

$36\ inches$

Explanation:

To find perimeter, add up all the sides. In a rectangle, there are 2 sets of identical sides so you can multiply the length by 2 and the width by 2 and combine them to get 36 inches.

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a base of and a height of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle you must find the sum of all of the side lengths.

To do this we plug the base and height into the equation $2(b)+2(h)=Area\:of\:rectangle$

With a base of and a height of our equation would look like $2(5)+2(18)=Area\:of\:rectangle$

Multiply and add the numbers together 10+36=46

The answer is .

Example Question #645 : High School Math

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a base of and a height of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle you must find the sum of all of the side lengths.

To do this, we plug the base and height into the equation .

With a base of and a height of our equation becomes 2(7)+2(32) .

Multiply and add the numbers together: 14+64=78

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a base of and a height of ?

Possible Answers:

P=32

P=40

P=44

P=20

Correct answer:

P=40

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle you must find the sum of all of the side lengths.

To do this we plug the base and height into the equation

With a base of and a height of our equation would look like

P=2(12)+2(8)

Multiply and add the numbers together

P=24+16

The answer is P=40 .
