Perimeter is the distance around an object.
One side of the square is inches.
All sides of a square are the same length.
To find the perimeter, add inches four times, or multiply inches by 4.
in. + in. + in. + in. = in.
The perimeter of the square is 6 inches.
Opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent.
So, the side lengths are 4 feet, 3 feet, 4 feet, and 3 feet.
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths.
Perimeter | = | 4 ft + 4 ft | + | 3 ft + 3 ft |
| = | 2 × 4 ft | + | 2 × 3 ft |
