A parking lot has 4 sides and a perimeter of 178 meters. One of the sides is 21 meters long, one side is 65 meters, and one side is 32 meters. What is the length of the last side?
- 60 m
- 50 m
- 95 m
- 55 m
Yes! This is the correct length.
Sorry, that's not correct. Try adding the lengths of this shape again.
Sorry, that's not correct. Remember, the perimeter of the parking lot is 178 meters.
Sorry, that's not correct. Remember, you must add the known lengths and subtract the sum from the perimeter.
A rectangular play mat has a length of 10 feet and a perimeter of 28 feet. What is the width of the play mat?
- 2 cm
- 6 cm
- 14 ft
- 4 ft
Sorry, that's not correct. Check your units again!
Sorry, that's not correct. You can find the answer by subtracting the known length from the perimeter, then dividing your answer by 2.
Sorry, that's not correct. Did you try subtracting \({28 - 20}\)?
Correct! The width of the playmat is 4 feet.
Madelyn's notebook is a perfect rectangle. Two of the sides are 7 inches long, and one of the sides is 15 inches. What is the length of the other side?
- 14 inches because \({7 + 7 = 14}\)
- 15 inches because the other side of the notebook is 15 inches also
- 29 in because \({7 + 7 + 15 = 29}\)
- 7 inches because the width of the notebook is 7 inches
Sorry, that's not correct. Remember, the lengths and widths of rectangles match!
Yes! This is the correct missing length.
Sorry, that's not correct. Double-check the length of the opposite side.
Sorry, that's not correct. What is the length of the notebook?
Caleb's remote is a rectangle. The length is 20 centimeters, and the width is 6 centimeters. What is the perimeter of the remote?
- 52 cm
- 6 cm
- 50 cm
- 26 cm
Yes! The perimeter is 52 centimeters because \({20 + 20 + 6 + 6 = 52}\).
Sorry, that's not correct. Try checking your equation again!
Sorry, that's not correct. You can find the answer by adding all 4 sides together.
Sorry, that's not correct. Perimeter is the distance around the entire shape, not just 2 sides.
This is a rectangular computer screen. The width of the screen is 56 inches, and the length is 29 inches. Which statement below is TRUE?
- The perimeter is the same number as the length.
- The lengths and widths of a rectangle are all the same number.
- The perimeter is 170 inches because \({56 + 56 + 29 + 29 = 170}\).
- You can find the perimeter by multiplying the length and the width of a rectangle.
Sorry, that's not correct. The perimeter is the distance around the entire computer screen.
Sorry, that's not correct. The lengths are the same number, and the widths are the same number.
Yes! That is the correct perimeter.
Sorry, that's not correct. It sounds like you're thinking of finding the area of a rectangle, not the perimeter.
Logan uses this hard drive to store his robot-design ideas. What is the perimeter of the hard drive?
- 99 cm
- 34 cm
- 52 cm
- 50 cm
Sorry, that's not correct. Try adding the side lengths of this rectangle again.
Sorry, that's not correct. Remember, you must add the side lengths to find the perimeter.
Yes! This is the correct perimeter.
Sorry, that's not correct. Perimeter is the distance around an entire shape.
Ava and her classmates spent math class measuring a poster on their classroom wall. They found the top of the poster is 63 centimeters long, the right side is 35 centimeters, and the left side is 35 centimeters. If the perimeter of the poster is 173 centimeters, what is the length of the bottom of the poster?
- 40 m
- 55 cm
- 173 cm
- 40 cm
Sorry, that's not correct. Check the unit of measurement!
Sorry, that's not correct. You can find the answer by adding the known lengths together and subtracting that number from the perimeter.
Sorry, that's not correct. This is the perimeter, not the missing length.
Yes! That is the missing length!
Zoe's teal sticker has a unique shape. It has 8 sides and a perimeter of 41 inches! Two of the sides are 6 inches, two of the sides are 4 inches, two of the sides are 1 inch, and one side is 11 inches. What is the missing length of Zoe's sticker?
- 10 in
- 8 in
- 12 in
- 7 in
Sorry, that's not correct. Try adding the lengths of this shape again.
Yes! This is the correct length!
Sorry, that's not correct. Remember, the perimeter of the sticker is 41 inches.
Sorry, that's not correct. You must add the lengths and subtract the sum from the perimeter.
An ice-skating rink has a perimeter of 201 feet. Can you find the missing side length using what you know about perimeter?
- 13 ft
- 188 ft
- 100 ft
- 16 ft
Yes! This is the correct length.
Sorry, that's not correct. It looks like you added the known lengths together. Try subtracting this number from the perimeter!
Sorry, that's not correct. Check your equation again.
Sorry, that's not correct. Remember, you must add the known lengths and subtract the sum from the perimeter.
Madelyn's control panel has a perimeter of 34 centimeters. If the length of the control panel is 7 cm, what is the width?
- 2 cm
- 6 cm
