Perimeter and Basic Arithmetic Concepts

Matt and Mr. J explain how to find the perimeter of a figure by first identifying missing side lengths. They demonstrate how to calculate these missing measurements and then add all the side lengths together to find the total perimeter, which is 40 inches. The video concludes with a summary of the process.

What is the perimeter of a figure?

• The diagonal of the figure

• The volume of the figure

• The distance around the figure

• The area inside the figure

If one side of a figure is 4 inches and the total length is 14 inches, what is the length of the missing side?

• 14 inches

• 12 inches

• 10 inches

• 8 inches

How do you calculate the perimeter once all side lengths are known?

• Multiply all side lengths

• Add all side lengths

• Subtract the smallest side from the largest

• Divide the total length by the number of sides

What is the sum of 4, 6, 14, 3, 10, and 3?

• 38

• 40

• 42

• 36

Which of the following is NOT a step in finding the perimeter of a figure?

• Finding missing measurements

• Identifying all side lengths

• Adding all side lengths

• Multiplying all side lengths
