Question 8

A picture frame is a rectangle with side lengths 12 inches and 7 inches. What is its perimeter?

Accepted Answer

The perimeter is 38 inches because 12 + 7 + 12 + 7 = 38.

Question 9

A rectangle has an area of 35 square units and a width of 5 units. What is the length?

Accepted Answer

The length is 7 units because 35 divided by 5 equals 7.

Question 10

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 units. Its length is 9 units. Its width is 6 units. Check whether these side lengths match the perimeter.

Accepted Answer

Yes, the side lengths match the perimeter because 9 + 6 + 9 + 6 = 30 units.

Question 11

A floor is covered with 24 square tiles arranged in 6 rows of 4. What is the area of the floor in square tiles?

Accepted Answer

The area is 24 square tiles because there are 24 tiles covering the floor.

Question 12

A rectangle is 11 units long and 2 units wide. Find both the area and the perimeter.

Accepted Answer

The area is 22 square units because 11 times 2 equals 22. The perimeter is 26 units because 11 + 2 + 11 + 2 = 26.

Question 13

One side of a square is 8 centimeters. Find its area and perimeter.

Accepted Answer

The area is 64 square centimeters because 8 times 8 equals 64. The perimeter is 32 centimeters because 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32.

Question 14

A rectangle has side lengths 4 units and 13 units. Which is greater, the area or the perimeter?

Accepted Answer

The perimeter is greater. The area is 52 square units because 4 times 13 equals 52, and the perimeter is 34 units because 4 + 13 + 4 + 13 = 34. Since 52 is greater than 34, the area is greater in number, but area and perimeter use different units, so they should not be directly compared as the same kind of measurement.

Question 15

Draw or imagine a rectangle with a length of 5 units and a width of 3 units. Explain how to find its area and perimeter.

Accepted Answer

The area is 15 square units because 5 times 3 equals 15. The perimeter is 16 units because 5 + 3 + 5 + 3 = 16. Area measures the space inside the shape, and perimeter measures the distance around it.
