FIND THE PERIMETER AND AREA OF A ROOM WITH THESE DIMENTIONS 11FT 13FT 14FT 3FT
Perimeter is easy. Just add up the lengths of the sides.
Area is harder. Unless you give some more information, it's not possible to figure it.
Play with some popsicle sticks. Given any four-sided figure, you can see that it's possible to deform the shape in various ways, changing the area.
If you can say that two sides are perpendicular or something, then we can make more headway.
To find the perimeter of a room, you need to add up the lengths of all the sides. In this case, we have four sides with the given dimensions:
Side 1: 11 ft
Side 2: 13 ft
Side 3: 14 ft
Side 4: 3 ft
To find the perimeter, add up all the sides:
Perimeter = Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3 + Side 4
Perimeter = 11 ft + 13 ft + 14 ft + 3 ft
Perimeter = 41 ft
So, the perimeter of the room is 41 feet.
To find the area of a room, you multiply the length and width of the room. In this case, we have two different lengths, so we can consider the largest length as the length of the room, and the smaller length as the width:
Length = 14 ft
Width = 13 ft
To find the area, multiply the length and width:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 14 ft x 13 ft
Area = 182 ft²
So, the area of the room is 182 square feet.
