Exploring Area and Perimeter of Irregular Shapes

What is the first step in finding the perimeter of an irregular shape?

• Add up all the sides

• Divide the shape into smaller shapes

• Cross out unnecessary measurements

• Multiply the length by the width

What is the total perimeter of the given irregular shape?

• 24 centimeters

• 26 centimeters

• 42 centimeters

• 36 centimeters

How many centimeters is the perimeter of the given shape?

• 34 centimeters

• 26 centimeters

• 22 centimeters

• 30 centimeters

How do you calculate the area of an irregular shape?

• By adding the area of smaller triangles

• Using the Pythagorean theorem

• Dividing it into smaller rectangles and calculating each area

• Multiplying the longest side by the shortest side

Why are the measurements of seven and two crossed out in the example?

• They are used for calculating the area of triangles

• They are errors in measurement

• They do not apply to the rectangles formed

• They represent the shape's perimeter

What is the first step in calculating the area of an irregular shape?
