You plan to design a set for a play, but you need to know the exact perimeter of the stage for your border design. Using the graphic, determine the perimeter of the stage in terms of feet.
Perimeter and Area in the Coordinate Plane Practice
To determine the perimeter of the stage, we need to add up the lengths of all the sides.
Counting the lengths on the graphic:
- Side 1: 8 units
- Side 2: 5 units
- Side 3: 8 units
- Side 4: 5 units
Now, add up the lengths:
Perimeter = 8 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 26
Therefore, the perimeter of the stage is 26 units.
