Figure UVWX is made up of eight identical rectangles. Each rectangle has a length of 6 cm.
- Find the perimeter of Figure UVWX.
- Find the area of Figure UVWX
(a)
Breadth of one rectangle = 1 u
Length of one length = 3 u
3 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
Length of Figure UVWX = 6 u
Breadth of Figure UVWX = 4 u
Perimeter of Figure UVWX
= 6 u + 6 u + 4 u + 4 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 2
= 40 cm
(b)
Area of 1 rectangle
= 6 x 2
= 12 cm
2 Area of Figure UVWX
= 8 x 12
= 96 cm
2 Answer(s): (a) 40 cm; (b) 96 cm
