Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

Set_3

Figure not drawn to scale

Find the perimeter of the trapezoid.

Possible Answers:

$24\ in$ $\displaystyle 24\ in$

$46\ in$ $\displaystyle 46\ in$

$72\ in$ $\displaystyle 72\ in$

$30\ in$ $\displaystyle 30\ in$

$40\ in$ $\displaystyle 40\ in$

Correct answer:

$40\ in$ $\displaystyle 40\ in$

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter of the trapezoid, you must add up the lengths of all the sides of the trapezoid.

$\displaystyle 8+10+8+14=40$

Because the lengths of the trapezoid are in inches, the answer is 40 in.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

What would you call a polygon with four sides and four angles, all of different measurements?

Possible Answers:

Square

None of these

Quadrilateral

Rhombus

Rectangle

Correct answer:

Quadrilateral

Explanation:

A quadrilateral has four sides and four angles, but no restrictions on how the lengths or measures are related. Thus, quadrilateral is the right answer.

In squares and rectangles, all four angles measure 90 degrees; thus the angles are all of equal measurements, making square and rectangle incorrect answer choices. A rhombus has two sets of angles of equal measurements, and would also be incorrect.

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

Mrs. Green's garden is shaped like a trapezoid. She wants to build a fence on the perimeter of her garden. The sides of her garden measure $\displaystyle 3 ft, 4 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft$. How long will the fence need to be?

Possible Answers:

124 ft $\displaystyle 124 ft$

28 ft $\displaystyle 28 ft$

132 ft $\displaystyle 132 ft$

34 ft $\displaystyle 34 ft$

29 ft $\displaystyle 29 ft$

Correct answer:

29 ft $\displaystyle 29 ft$

Explanation:

To calculate the perimeter of a trapezoid, find the sum of the four sides.

$\displaystyle P = 3 ft + 4ft + 10ft + 12 ft$

P=29ft $\displaystyle P=29ft$

Example Question #1227 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

The perimeter of a trapezoid is two times the base length plus two times the side lengths. True or False?

Possible Answers:

True

False

Correct answer:

False

Explanation:

Since the two base lengths area not the same length, you must add them separately and not just multiple one of the by two.
