Figure UVWX is made up of six identical rectangles. Each rectangle has a length of 4 cm.
- Find the perimeter of Figure UVWX.
- Find the area of Figure UVWX
(a)
Breadth of one rectangle = 1 u
Length of one length = 2 u
2 u = 4
1 u = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Length of Figure UVWX = 4 u
Breadth of Figure UVWX = 3 u
Perimeter of Figure UVWX
= 4 u + 4 u + 3 u + 3 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 2
= 28 cm
(b)
Area of 1 rectangle
= 4 x 2
= 8 cm
2 Area of Figure UVWX
= 6 x 8
= 48 cm
2 Answer(s): (a) 28 cm; (b) 48 cm
